Jay called yesterday to ask if we would be willing to help out at this charity event that was organized for the earthquake in China. Even though it was a very last min thing that my previous boss asked Jay to do, I said yes because I thought it was for a good cause. We tried to go to the rehearsal for one song last night, and the result kinda turned out to be ridiculous.
1st of all....everything was kinda diff. from what my ex-boss told Jay on the phone. The song turned out to be something composed by a woman who was more into showing off her song than doing some good. She was eager to show everyone that her daughter can sing and play the violin, and wanted the whole arrangement to be more complicated than the song would ever need. Furthermore.... we found out that the venue would not even have a sound system for the band to use.
The end result of this big joke is that all kids called to help as a "mini children choir" wasted a lot of time hanging around. The band members left after around 1 hour...doing nothing plus listening to the husband of the composer boasting about the whole event. Later they found out there will be no piano to use in the venue, and the composer insisted on coming up with some tracks recorded in the morning for the event tonight.
What do I think of the whole thing? I think stupid parents should quit being proud of their not so talented kids. People should quit showing off when there is obviously something more imp to do. Pastors should know how to say no to some people who die to have a stage unless they are planning to handle and help the situation themselves. and....people who died or have families and friends injured in the earthquakes....probably don't freaking care what kinda show you put together. They probably just need the money to rebuild everything....End of my thoughts....
