the risky type-up

When I am posting calendar events onto various forums and news pages and community events websites, etc, it is sometimes a bit tempting to just edit the events slightly or rewrite my own. I never do in actuality, of course, but occasionally to pass the time I type up little alternate media announcements. For example here is an actual post:


The Community School of the Arts (CSA) at Wheaton College presents the Choirs, Handbells & Musical Theater Spring Concert at 7 p.m through 8 p.m. Friday, May 18. This annual concert features performances by the CSA choir and handbell students. This evening program also includes a performance by musical theater students.

And here is a partial rewrite:

The Community School of the Arts (CSA at Wheaton College presents the Choirs, Handbells, Symphony Orchestra and Corps de Ballet in a presentation of Igor Stravinsky’s “Rites of Spring” on May 18th at 7:30 pm in Edman Memorial Chapel. Guest harpist Melissa Green will be performing, along with acclaimed ballerina Maria Majkovic, who was trained in the Royal Russian Ballet after a brief stint at the San Francisco Academy of Dance. Majkovic was born in Poland and trained under renowned dancer and instructor Colette Vladiminskia, a severe woman with little patience but great talent in teaching.

Tant pis que le CSA doesn't actually have a Corps de Ballet, non?
