I was in The orchestra for my school's production of the music man. Its was a blast, but sort of a pain in the a** concidering I was transposing in my head. I had to play a cello part on a bari sax

I got used to it after a while but at first reading bass clef like it was treble and adding 3 sharps to every key signature really screwed with my head.

That and I had to rewrite at least 3 of the pieces by hand. (There were already 5 or 6 sharps in the key signature....) confused

We did Carousel. It's insane.

I play the bass clarinet, and my parts were in the bassoon book. My parts were nice and transposed for me, but I didn't play in every song, so I transposed some parts myself and played whenever I could.

I did last year...it was okay.

I play bass clarinet, and there were't any violas. Another bass clarinet player and I were recruited to play transposed music.
So I spent 7 weeks on a computer putting in viola music to be transposed, I hated it.
I didn't really like playng in the pit. I hated it at the time, but looking back it wasn't bad.

I do soundbooth for the theatre now...so...I've found where I'm supposed to be. blaugh
