Back to singing!
Yesterday I auditioned to be in a choir. It was such fun! The director was ADHD-status energetic and invited me to pick between two of his choirs--one with 180 members, one with 50 members. He said he never lets anyone pick but, "I'm a good alto that can read music and seems smart and pleasant--logic bids me welcome!" After he listed me the differences between the two, mostly related to scale, I chose the big one. This is my opportunity to sing in the largest, most professional choir I've ever been in so I'm taking it! It's the only choir in the NATION with its own orchesta, maintained by the nonprofit fundraising of the whole organization. Each concert costs $75,000 to produce, so the fundraising is very necessary, but the society has flourished. All the members sell tickets, plus they're available for purchase through the website. The Christmas concert in particular is so popular, they do two showings of it and had 4000 people last year! I'm very excited to be singing again, especially at this level! Rehearsals start at the end of the month and I just can't wait!
