As we head into the final weekend of In The Heights, I wanted to thank our Musical Director, Matt for putting together a great orchestra and for his patience and faith in this newcomer to his pit.  Matt hired me sight unseen and didn’t panic when I confessed that, no, I hadn’t known all those Latin rhythms when he hired me.

Thanks to Tony, our percussionist, who knows his stuff and had some great suggestions along the way, and to the rest of our top-notch orchestra.  It’s been a blast and I’m looking forward to a great closing weekend!

P.S. : If you’ve landed this part and are wondering what to do when you see figures like the one below, here’s a decoder ring.
