What Should I Do?

Well I just joined a new jazz ensemble about 2 weeks ago after leaving my previous one. I'm the drummer and before me they didn't have one. Well today I just found out about a gig we have this Sunday at 3:00pm (short notice, in my opinion). Now I have to choose between that or watching the Panthers game. I'm really leaning towards skipping the gig to watch the game but I kind of feel like a dick doing that. I haven't missed any part of a Panthers game since 2010, and I don't want to miss this one. I think they could either play without a drummer or find someone to step in, I just need to let them know whether I can or not by Friday. My brother, who I'm very close with, thinks I'm a d-bag to skip the gig, but he doesn't care for any sports so he may not understand. I really just don't know what to do. If I had Sunday Ticket or if the game was on locally I'd just record it and get to do both, but I'm in Boston and have to watch games at the bar. By the way, it's not a gig that people pay to get into it's a free show so I wouldn't be taking something away from people paying for it. Let me know what you think.

We play at one. Do you need too practice if not go to an establishment right near the venue. With the way we are going, the game will be over by 2 pm tops. Problem solved, then your can go pound on something and feel better or maybe playing drums would help too.

Do the gig. Unless you don't want to be part of the project going forward. It was short notice but that's the music biz.

Only way I would back out is if it's not a paying gig and/or the venue sucks. If you bail don't say it's because of the game

You dont know a soul that can DVR the game for you?

 

YOU joined a group, and when you do that, you take on the responsibility of showing up.  you are correct in that lots of "artists" do not have major interests in sports.

 

You need to go to the gig.  NFL network also does reruns of games

I was once in your shoes, and panicked any time I was in danger of missing a Panthers game.

I didn't see any of last weeks game because I was on family vacation.

You just need to sort out your priorities and realize you can always catch the highlights.

      Nobody likes moral victories, but...

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      I don't really like the phrase, "moral victory". I get what's meant by it, but does that mean that if you do the opposite (play poorly but win) it's an immoral victory? 🤔

      Team is looking good for next season

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      I blame Evero because he is overrated. Vance Joseph created the defense in Denver that he took credit for. Wilks ran the ball down his throat and Darnold had a 103.8 rtg.  Last year we were decent in yards allowed, and horrible in everything else. Only reason? We kept giving up good field position.  He's had his choice of players to bring in since his scheme is so "complicated." Maybe he should stop trying to be so fancy like running Cover 4 on 3rd and 1 earlier and focus on fundamentals like tackling. These years of Eric Washington, Phil Snow, and Evero must have gotten you confused on what a real defense looked like. Go back and watch the McDermott and Wilks years- this dude is sofT.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I tried to make it a point in the opening post that I don't think the offense is a finished product. I think we still need more talent at WR, better play calling, catch more consistently, elimate ridiculous penalties,  and be more consistency in scoring points. I'm just saying, they look markedly better than last year imo. They have scored 20 or more in 6 games and 30 or more in 2 games. And that's particularly notable considering they only mustered 10 points and 3 points in first 2 games of this year and they got blanked on 0 points two games in a row to wrap up last season . I'd say that's a market improvement.  I'm not crowning them and saying we have a top 10 offense or anything.  I'm comparing them to themselves in recent history.
