Recent Singers Shows

Wow, what a crazy weekend. It has been a long time since I have really felt run down but this weekend did it for sure. Friday and Saturday's shows were pretty normal, no big happenings. Saturday morning though, we got to work with Mac Huff on some music for the Music Educators National Conference that we are performing at tomorrow, which was really awesome. He is such a great director and has such a passion for his work. I love meeting people who really believe in what they are doing, musical or not. It is so refreshing, because when we start having lots of shows like this month it is hard sometimes to remember what I love about Singers. Mac Huff, however, reminded me how amazing music can make you and others around you feel, and thats why I love Singers. I really feel like we can make a difference in people's lives and change their mood. It's such a good feeling.

Anywho...I ramble a lot. Sunday's show however in Door County was so much fun. It was a long drive and people were cranky for most of the day, but for some reason whenever the show started we all perked up. I think it was mostly due to the fact that absolutely everything went wrong, which maybe isn't a good thing but it was definitely the comic relief that we all needed. Bailey and Elyse's costumes popped off so we had to reblock on the spot a couple of times which was really funny. Claire and Michael got in mine and Porto's spot in "Chapel" in it resulted in like the funniest experience of my life. I really enjoy those types of shows when even though everything goes wrong, we have fun with it instead of getting all mad. It's really a lot of fun to have all these people with me in the same boat every weekend.
