a madrigal night
I’m so proud of our mad choir.
The concert went fabulously. We performed well - I’m glad that my inner ear didn’t pop when I was singing as it usually would happen - and the other choirs sang beautifully as well (except for the fact that the adult choir’s soprano section never seemed to get the high notes high enough.. and they sounded as if they were being butchered…), the children’s chorus was heavenly. There was a little chubby Chinese guy who was standing in the centre of the huge choir who attracted all of our attention - not only was he cute, he was also very engaged in the music that he started jerking about like a pro opera singer. Oh those kids were lovely. I feel sorry that not a lot of people attended the concert - it is true that there were more performers than listeners; but if I were to pay $40 to listen to them in the Geroge Weston Recital Hall, I would.
Much love to Ayra who has brought so much fun. We started laughing about something super minor and continued the hearted laughter for about 5 continuous minutes until my cheeks started to hurt - while we could not get over the fact that the conductor’s British accent was so sexy. I finally found someone who can be my partner to make a building collapse through clapping electrifyingly loud. Grade tenners, how I love thee.
Prior to the concert, I went shopping after work today, I have to admit that Jacob Connexion is now my 2nd favourite store. Got some springy stuff, and also went to check out some stuff for babies; a pair of tiny shoes for 1-month-olds is $30. Geez, more expensive than mine. I’m clueless of what to buy for babies.
I’m so happy that my arm doesn’t hurt anymore; it stopped this morning, miraculously sudden. As much as I look forward to the 1st rehearsal with WE, I fear I might bomb it due to the lack of practice. I guess I know what I’m doing tomorrow.
all these is part of being in this choir

Hey
I think we did a fabulous job at the Toronto International Choral festival…. I think we nailed Sleep… i dont know if u noticed or not, but when we were performing midway through sleep the whole surroundings and the audience looked at us with complete surprise and they didnt move a bit until we finished sleep. Becuase of that Sleep sounded like the voices from 20 scarborugh angels in that church……… anyways we all deserve a good applause! well done!

It truly was a lot of fun. (Even my parents thought we owned)! Our group was so spirited, which made it so much better. I do agree with Parthi, Half- way through sleep, everybody perked up and looked like they were holding their breath until the end.
Gah, stupid incoherence.
Let’s do it again on the 13th, and own all the other TDSB ensembles.

I agree with the above two. Sleep was like…WOW. Insanely good. And the concert itself was lots of fun. Hooray for Madrigals!

Sleep is the kinda song that provides great stage presence, and it has moments of complete silence which dares the audience to make even a tiny little sound.
I’m looking forward to the 13th. =)

there aren’t a lot pictures… at least I haven’t found a lot of them.. but one of my friend had her semi-formal there, and from what I heard, the hall looks quite nice.

Yay! You didn’t bomb the W.E. rehearsal! I knew you wouldn’t. =)

I almost did though. I just blured all the notes at places which I wasn’t familiar with, because I had no idea where they are supposed to be on the keyboard. muahah.
