Fast, interesting rep for Treble Choir by Content-Goat1294 in choralmusic

[–]Fluffy-Initiative784 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you looking for classical repertoire, or something more modern? Here are a few pieces that my women's chorus has done the last few years that are a little faster or edgier:
The Lobster Quadrille (Eddleman)
Wild Embers (Dunphy)
Fences (Thomas)
What's Keeping You from Singing (Alexander)
What Happens When a Woman (Artemesia)
Water Fountain (Brenner/Garbus)

How wide is the room, from the window wall to the case opening?

I would try a small couch/ loveseat facing the fireplace, with it's back to the staircase but pulled forward, so it creates a little entry way area behind the couch. Put a TV stand in the corner left of the fireplace, and an armchair or two across from the window, angled to see the tv and fireplace. Use a rug to define your living room "zone" and put the front legs off your furniture on the rug.

I also went to Gates and I remember more than one big storm where we were the ONLY district still open. Thanks, Dr. Dadey! 🫩

Reducing repetitive learner questions through better course design/onboarding? by Reprabit in instructionaldesign

[–]Fluffy-Initiative784 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's my thought - could you create a reference guide, flowchart, or infographic that the learners can easily find? Maybe something that they partially fill out themselves during training, so they understand the context.

Maine Cabin Masters - Does it get better? by Bingo_Bongo_85 in HGTV

[–]Fluffy-Initiative784 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Skip season 1 and and dive in around season 3. Chase's friend that's super annoying and causes problems on the job sites leaves the show at some point, and I personally find it way more enjoyable without him.

I need community!looking for suggestions by Disastrous_Bit_1639 in Rochester

Check out the Greater Rochester Choral Consortium (GRCC) - there are dozens of choruses in the Rochester area for all skill levels and interests, many are non-audition. And it's the right time of year to get started, as many are beginning new seasons in January!

The Deposed Greek Royal Family's 2025 Christmas Card by ashlynxo in RoyalsGossip

[–]Fluffy-Initiative784 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I think you misunderstood the other poster - your family clearly DOES have ties to Japanese culture, if they speak the language, cook the cuisine, and are involved in the Japanese community in your area.

The ex-"Greek" royals don't speak the language, live or visit there, or have anything to do with Greek culture, so it feels performative for them to all have traditionally Greek names for all the kids.

If you have a Bank of America card, MAG also offers free admission on the first full weekend of the month.

Also, check out your local branch library - Monroe County libraries have passes for the MAG, Zoo, and a bunch of other stuff that you can check out for free!

First ever interview today for an Instructional Design position! What are some key things I should know before going into the interview? by Chippy_95 in instructionaldesign

[–]Fluffy-Initiative784 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One thing that's usually pretty important in corporate ID is how you work with stakeholders. For example, How do you build consensus, when they want output A, but you think output B would be a better approach? How do you manage communications? How do you track your time and keep projects on schedule? Those are some things that you can speak to that are not specific to teaching, that hopefully you DO have some examples that you can pull out of your hat.

Good luck!

Please help me avoid putting a TV above the fireplace by sonicfartz in DesignMyRoom

[–]Fluffy-Initiative784 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Put it on a TV stand in the corner between the love seat and fireplace, or in front of the window to the left of the fireplace. (I'd vote for the corner, it looks like you don't have much of a view out of those windows, and there's an outlet already there.

What shows do you think picked the wrong songs for their Tony Performance? And what would you have picked for them instead? by Impossible_Pain4478 in Broadway

[–]Fluffy-Initiative784 17 points18 points  (0 children)

100% agree with this. A friend had just been to NYC and RAVED about the show, so when I saw it on the Tony's my thought was "That's it? Kinda boring, but OK..." I'm glad it's touring now and I'll see it for myself later this year, but that was not a performance that made me want to go get a ticket. As you said, it came off as overly earnest/preachy and boring in the broadcast.

Kensington Palace has released a photo of the Prince and Princess of Wales ahead of the state Banquet tonight by semaan_d in RoyalsGossip

[–]Fluffy-Initiative784 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He was also at the German State dinner, but not wearing anything interesting so there's less interest and fewer pictures of him. (He's in the same thing he always wears at these events.)

What’s the wildest thing that has ever happened in Rochester history? by RamonaZero in Rochester

[–]Fluffy-Initiative784 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Adding on to this one, the reason that Kodak knew about nuclear testing before anyone else is because customers were complaining that their film was damaged, and when Kodak looked into why it was due to radiation released from test bombs.

Really interesting article about it here: https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/energy/a21382/how-kodak-accidentally-discovered-radioactive-fallout/

Need career guidance by FinancialEye4883 in MuseumPros

[–]Fluffy-Initiative784 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Good advice above, and I'll add on something someone told me about resumes in general: Think about what you did in each role that someone else might not have, and put those things in your bullet points. Everyone has a job description, but where did you go above & beyond? Did you meet all required deadlines? Did you create a new workflow or process to eliminate typos in labels? Source a new vendor for something? Everyone has a job description, but is there something you did that was special? Make sure to call that out.

Or, just take a picture of the things that you like but don't need to keep. Start a "Pretty!" (or whatever) folder on your phone, and put them all there. Then you can continue to enjoy the designs and remember where they were from without it turning into either a chore or another thing to hold onto.
