36 Days until Departure

1 Service, 1 Recital and 3 more rehearsal like that and I'm going to be a very skinny man!

WOW! What a great night of singing. You should all be very tired today. An amazing sound and it was clear that all of the hard work that we have done in the past 16 months is now coming into play. We were all strong (regardless of heat and fatigue) right until the end. And yes, I did push the choir very hard.

NO ONE GAVE UP! That was the key wasn't it. No one gave up. We all pushed through right until the end. I guess that's all about good living...or at least that's what they tell me.

It's all very exciting. Keep up the great work. It really is an amazing sound and I think everyone was energized being in the Cathedral with that Grand Organ.

On to Glory! Have a great day.

Yes - it was a truly amazing sound. The sustain after the responses was impressive! I'm not sure about the horns from the organ though - we'll have the congregation nervously looking back to see why a truck is coming down the aisle! Soloists were great - especially our diminutive soprano with the mega voice. Deep breaths and self-confidence work wonders! It's going to be HOT on Sunday. Permission to forego shirt and tie during rehearsal, boss? And - a parting thought - how do you tell the difference between a young (hornless) unicorn and a foal? God knows! Rippah
