New Pit Orchestra!

Here's that Web site Jason was asking me about in rehearsal -- hopefully we'll be able to get a few things posted on here before this show is over (other than just cuts!).

This blog is used mostly to distribute information about the pit orchestra rehearsals, etc. But, if you take a few pictures, or want to make comments about each other for fun, or just have something to say about what is going on on stage... well, this is a good place to do it.

Let me know if you want access to post to it.
