Still getting (and giving) goose bumps

And the tour continues! We performed yesterday morning at Akron Mennonite and in the evening at Forest Hills Mennonite and this morning at Lancaster Mennonite School. Many of the women in the choir were able to stay with family and this brought some much needed rest and rejuvenation. The audience seems to like us more and more with each performance and we have been well received by all ages. Yesterday morning when we sang at Akron Mennonite Church, a man came up to me and a few other choir members. He was holding his young toddler and commented that he had rarely seen his son sit as still as he did during our performance! It was decided that our performance at Forest Hills was our best yet. As a group, we have had time to bond and this has had a wonderful effect on our singing. In the beautiful sanctuary at Forest Hills, we were able to let our emotions lead the music. Tears and laughter evoked a special spirit into the songs. I had expected to grow weary of performing so frequently but that is simply not the case! I still get goose bumps when I sing Khudaya, I still giggle when I see heads in the audience pop up after the first note of Denko, and I still feel and overall sense of well being after singing. Soon we will be arriving in Philadelphia and singing at Philadelphia Mennonite School.
