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.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
