I'm getting ready for juries in December. I'm essentially doing the first three semesters' worth of juries in one sitting since I don't want to be doing this for six years and I know much of the stuff already. Just having to prepare the 16 songs (they will probably ask me to play one or two off the list but I need to know all of them) and putting together the Joe Pass transcription are the most time consuming. I have about a month but there is Thanksgiving break, finals and a week completely full of performances that I have between now and then so I'm trying to be ready early.
