First Rehearsal Amazingness

Observations from a seasoned Singing City-er, but novice blogg-er:

• Smiles, hugs, positive energy flowing throughout the room: people were so happy to see each other, sing, and reconnect to our community.
• Professional sound: Even starting with the warm-ups, our sound was so good! I imagined that Jeff was pleased that he had helped shape a group that could pick up where we had left off in June so effortlessly and splendidly. We were in tune, we were strong, the tone was lovely, our solid attention was given to Jeff, the second sopranos blended beautifully [ : ) ] It was lovely. And then warm-ups were done and we sounded even better! : )
• Daunting schedule highlights singers' commitment: I am struck by the breadth of our calendar and how each of us will be making sacrifices to make time to be the fantastic choir that we are. What an amazing, dedicated, organized group Singing City is.
• Organized, focused, phenomenal: Sandy had 45 zillion extra copies of music, Elaine laid out our name tags, our chairs were filled with goodies, the new folks were introduced, Angela reminded us about movies, etc. etc. I maintain that this is one of the most organized organizations I've ever experienced.
• Missing people: there was an emptiness without some of our friends. The second soprano section was missing terribly Deedee, Linda, Meredith and Anne (who's actually a first sop, but I miss her so much, I'm putting her here). Of course all of our positive energy, light and blessings are being sent towards Jared and Anne. There are others that we are missing as well and hope that this blog is a helpful link back to Singing City.

Well - that wasn't so bad. Blogging is fun -especially with the funky colors. I will now go back to work (don't tell my boss) so that we can have ourselves a wonderful government come January.

Peace,
