What I learned from doing this assignment is – I’m not sure that my concept will work. I wish we were told at the beginning that ensemble pieces wouldn’t be allowed. I don’t think that the problems with ensemble pieces will be a problem for this because the main characters are a group of teenagers, so they can be unknowns who won’t be fighting over credit and should be easy to schedule. But if we’re not even going to go over that structure in this class, I guess I’ll try to use one of the others.
