And so it begins! TCB Librarian here! After spending most of my free time this summer ordering, pulling, copying, and organizing music for the new season…it’s finally time to put them into the folders! Our 26-27 season starts in about three and a half weeks! Who’s excited?

Here is the long awaited answer to how tall is the sorted pile of drifters? 5 5/8 inches! I was convinced it was going to be at least 9 inches, but thankfully my librarian skills are far better than my size estimation skills.

It’s me again, the TCB librarian! Occasionally, when sorting music, you’ll find a piece that doesn’t belong with the piece you’re sorting. Sometimes pages get stuck together or they get tucked in incorrect places. Sometimes people turn in their folder late and the music has already been filed away. I have a special tray where I put these pieces of music; I call them drifters. For the first time since I became librarian (in 2019), I went through and sorted the pile of drifters. Which is what you see here. Anyone want to guess how tall this pile is?
