LONG weekend!
So this was probably the longest and most active weekend I've had in a long time! We had a show in Fond du Lac on Friday, one on Saturday in Waunakee (Robin's hometown), and another yesterday in Door County. It was quite the trek home last night! Needless to say, I slept the entire way home last night!
It was quite the interesting show weekend. Friday's performance went pretty well and the audience LOVED the show! It is so rewarding to hear that uproar at the end of songs--it is definitely the reason I do this!
Saturday's show was a little bit lower energy, but we pulled through in the second half for Robin's home show!
Sunday was probably one of the harder shows of the semester. There were definitely a few costume scares to start off, and for the third show of the weekend plus with the early load time that morning (6:15 AM!), the energy level started to drop a bit. We realized it soon enough, though, and did what we could. Overall, the audience was quite responsive.
Also this weekend we got to work with the nationally renowned song writer, Mac Huff. It was SO awesome to work with someone of that caliber!! We rehearsed the music we will be performing on Wednesday at the MENC performance. The songs are so powerful! I love singing them--I can't wait to hear how we all sound on stage with the other choirs too!
We have another busy weekend coming up--MENC on Wednesday, Middleton on Thursday, Fort Atkinson on Saturday, and a show in the UP on Sunday (we won't be getting back until VERY early on Monday morning!). I will let you know how the next week goes!
Until then...
