Adventures in singing
Just got home from Folklife. It was well... an interesting performance.
We didn't have our regular director, which made it a bit weird, the stage had a 'dead sound', and the risers were HALF the width we're used to.
Being on the top row, on this teeny riser, there was nothing but thin air behind me, not even a safety bar. I almost (quite literally) fell off backwards once. My high heel missed the back of the riser, and I tipped backwards. Out of reflex I grabbed for the person in front of me. Fortunately I caught myself and kept on singing. I missed one choreo move, but (the important thing) I didn't act like I missed a move. From that point on my feet remained planted on the riser. I kept moving... but only from the waist up!
But overall. I Still Had Fun!
After, we went to Buca Di Bepo for dinner. Much fun was had by all. Scott and Kasey even showed up.
Good times all around.
