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.
Congratulations! Both on the successful audition and for finding what seems to be such a good fit. Hooray!
Way to go!!!
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.”
That’s awesome!! Good for you. It sounds like it will be loads of challenging and comforting fun.
Awesome!!! I’m very happy for you!
Congratulations! Did sitting through rehearsal before the audition make you nervous?
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.
thats so awesome.
congrats!!!!!
im so not musically talented
Bad! Ass! Congratulations!
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.
Yay!
