22 Days until Departure

Good Morning! In this world of hurry, I need it now, and "put that aside. This urgent item is more urgent than the last I gave you 3 minutes ago!" There are moments that we can truly say give pause for reflection.

Last nights rehearsal was one of those moments. For almost 2 solid hours you sang at full crank without flinching once. (ok there was a couple of moments) but just the same really quite wonderful. Basses! Great job last night. It was wonderful to hear you all singing out. It's exactly what the choir needed.

The rehearsal was good for my tired soul and I hope it rejuvenated yours and reinforced just how good this choir is getting. No, we are not perfect but the sound is magnificent and you are singing more comfortably in the Cathedral. Really Really, a great job all around.

We'll have another go a processions again next Thursday night. You did a good job at it but you need to remember the 90 degree angles on the corners. Always follow the point of the person in front of you. Remember the imaginary line that connects you with your walking partner. As Jason said last night and as I have been saying for far too long, presentation is as big a part of our trip as the singing.

Tomorrow, we'll be perfect. (Dave Stieb)

One more rehearsal!

Have a wonderful weekend.
