Sing out strong...
Ah... It was great to be back at Choir last night - first rehearsal of the season. Lovely to see everyone, and registration went very smoothly. We ran through five or six of the more familiar songs, and started working on a new medley for the Winter Concert.
I am always surprised by the magic that happens at choir. There's something about the way the voices blend, the way the rich tones of close harmony create something greater than the sum of it's parts, which always takes me aback. I was reminded again how powerful teamwork and collaboration are, and that it can create something really special. A metaphor for life, perhaps?
But, I'm getting too introspective for this early in the morning. Suffice to say rehearsal went very very well, and I'm very excited for the new season. We're going to have a few new opportunities to perform, as well as our usual concerts, and even a "field trip" to Stratford to see Jesus Christ Superstar! That should be a lot of fun. I gave the music for my solo to the accompanyist, Sapphire, and hopefully I'll be able to get her music recorded so that I can rehearse it on my own.
Lots of follow up work to do as well, including updating the Choir Members list, the repertoire list for this season, stamping, recording and filing the new music the Prez brought me, and correcting some email addresses. I'll do that tonight so that I can relax about it, and just practise the music for the rest of the week, while I look forward to next Monday's rehearsal.
