A day without rehearsal?
Friday was terribly strange. This week has been
littered with extra rehearsals squeezed into odd
hours to get ready for the upcoming tour, so a
rehearsal-less Friday was a bit of a mixed blessing.
On the one hand, it was nice to have a bit of a
break to catch up on homework and people one
hasn't seen in ages because you've been so busy,
but on the other hand, one can't relax or focus
properly because you think you should be in
rehearsal! But the extra practice has done wonders
—the songs are now so ingrained, it seems like
singing is now as commonplace as breathing. Less
than a week until all of our hard work pays off! It
will be nice to get our traveling feet wet in Grand
Rapids before we start on the Grand Tour (yes, it
deserves capitals. It's that grand), that way all of
the little logistical problems can rear their ugly
heads and be dealt with now rather than on the
road. Personally, I love traveling and the
unpredictability of it all, but I worry for Deb and all
of the hard work she put in planning it all. For any
of you in the Goshen area that might not be able to
attend our Grand Tour performances, the winter
concert entitled "Earth, Wind, Fire, Water" is tonight
at Sauder Hall which will have a few of the pieces
we will be performing on tour, as well as
performances by the Men's Choir, Chamber Choir
and Chorale. It should be a wonderful evening,
even though Scott Williamson refused to dress up
like a member of the band Earth, Wind and Fire.
