I'm a new choral director and one of my many responsibilities is to be a drama/musical director.
I've done a few musicals in my life but never had to deal with not having a full pit.
Looking at doing Once Upon a Mattress but frankly I'm worried about how I can pull it off without a full pit. Basically I have a trumpet player 2 pianist and a percussionist.
Any ideas? Is the sinfonia worth it? The FAQ wasn't to helpful.
I have done a show with the Orchextra during my student teaching, (though the thought of pushing play and praying scares me to death!)
