A Glorious NIght

A glorious night! Thanks for all of those who organized and executed our wonderful year-end celebration. I hope you noticed those glorious fairies prancing around in their coordinated white dresses! (my children) Nancy Lewis provided brilliant commentary on our year towards the end of the evening.

Thank you also for your kind gift of a family meal at Brio. The girls love eating there as much as I do.

The season is over! Enjoy your Monday nights and get ready for the best year we've ever had.

mh gets it right.

A few quick thoughts about last night

Typing quickly before I run out with time for the family:

• it felt like we achieved something last night, didn't it? something accomplished, a significant moment
• the applause - sustained - i believe the audience knew that something significant happened last night
• Justin was magnificent - a master at what he does -
  
• and so was the evangelist and Jesus
• i wrote this in another place - it will appear on Sunday:
  
  It is a pity that I didn't enjoy the work until the night of the performance. We only had two months to prepare it - and that is quite difficult for a group of volunteer musicians. My approach was one of some frustration and a feeling of impending doom. I will approach it differently next time - because I caught a glimpse of the genius of the work even though it was far too late.
• i was proud of my choir. you rose to the occasion. you put in extra hours, you studied the score, you attended extra rehearsals.
• i was proud of our entire season - we added many new people and Bach, Handel, Mendelssohn, and Mozart helped transform us into a choir

Correction to be made

Got this note moment ago but can't edit blog right now:

Philip,

When you have a chance, can you edit an item on the blog about the Silent Auction? It appears that Tammy's e-mail address has an extra space in it before the @ symbol. It should be quick44day@gmail.com. Thanks a bunch!!
