This will be my last concert with Charis
I will no longer be singing with the chorus after this concert. Why? Its because of the new artistic director. I had an emergency that called for my attention last night which needed to be immediately taken care of so i had to miss a technical rehearsal for the concert. I show up tonight for dress and was told that when it was announced that i would not be there did she know and she said yes and thought it was bullshit. Im sorry miss director if my life comes before singing with a bunch of women. I'm sorry if I miss some rehearsals due to personal illness and the fact i've had to bury two people i love in the past week or the fact that a year ago my mother was ill so i didnt sing in a concert. I'm sorry if i value my family more then the chorus...this saturday is my cousin ellen's memorial service and i told her i would be late but still at the concert. her response showed anything but compassion at the tragedy my family has had to endure. but my family is my family..my blood and my heartbeat..she is someone that i gave $60 for to pay for her salary..so thank you miss director..you killed a true joy in my life by your complete lack of respect for me as an adult and as a person who is grieving..fuck you
