The audition was wonderful. The choir is amazing. I feel really good today.
The chorus had us (I went with my neighbor and friend Lesley) sit through the rehearsal before the auditions. They are singing John Rutter’s “Mass of the Children” which is both beautiful and challenging.
The director is this fantastic and talented woman who referenced both March Madness and “Spinal Tap” during rehearsal. I think I have found a place that I belong.
The choir is also singing a Handel piece , something by Vaughn Williams and some other English music for their concert in the spring.
I guess I should say “we” are singing this music.
I got in.

March Madness and Spinal Tap? Where do I sign up? Kidding…the commute would be hell and I couldn’t carry a tune if it had handles, despite starting college as a music major.
Sounds perfect. I’ll bet y’all have “eleven.”

In high school I sang with a wonderful community choir called The Chorus of Westerly. It was an amazing experience and I still miss being a part of it. I hope your experience is every bit as amazing as mine was.

Awesome. What an escape from ‘reality’ to be able to sing beautiful pieces with wonderful people. It sounds like fun and I would love to join you however I am completely tone deaf and if I were to sing, ears would bleed. Have fun.
