Beatbox Concerto – first draft of the score

OMG I was nearly in tears when Anna showed me the score, it’s FIENDISH. Here’s a little excerpt – click for a close up

OUCH

OK so this excerpt is 29 bars, of a total of 306 bars in the piece.  Note that in these 30 bars there are 25 time signatures. 25. I have less than a month to memorise the entire piece, with only 2 rehearsals with the orchestra, and I am actually scared. It’s not a good scared like i sometimes get, this is real fear. help!!
