Joe, count your blessings! It could go the other way, like the last two weeks were for me. We did no less than seven different programs over that time span and the repertoire was crazy. In one span of five days, we performed four distinct concerts. Here is how the worst seven days laid out:

2/28 - Ravel Concerto for the Left Hand & Bruckner 4
3/1 - Tchaikovsky 5
3/2 - Ravel Concerto for the Left Hand & Bruckner 4
3/3 - Opera program for Renee Fleming (arias, some cimbasso, etc.)
3/4 - Ravel Concerto for the Left Hand & Bruckner 4
3/5 - Peter Nero Pops (blowfest, Peter doesn't know the word "soft" and loves brass)
3/6 - Ravel Concerto for the Left Hand & Bruckner 4

The week listed above was preceeded by a run of performances of the Prokofiev Romeo & Juliet (all of suites 1 & 2) and was followed by a pretty hard brass quintet performance just yesterday. We start El Salon Mexico at the end of the week and I'm looking forward to the breather! ;-)

My opinion for what it's worth...
