Texty

I guess even the blurb in the SGN didn't do the trick.

I knew this was coming--overdue, perhaps--but I'm still bummed.

Thanks to everyone who hung in as long as you did. I think the chorus did amazing things over its lifespan, and any time we spent there was definitely time well spent.

So, I went to chorus rehearsal last night for the first time in a couple of years. My recent history with the chorus has been sporadic, for various reasons, but I really do want to get back to singing--that being half of my "dream career state." It felt good--albeit a bit exhausting, because I wasn't singing right.

But there were also some very interesting announcements.
( Like a phoenix in the immolation phase )

Even though most of the folks at rehearsal last night were people I either didn't know at all or only know a little bit, it was still like coming home. There's a certain sort of energy in the group that has always drawn me to it, and I was definitely reminded of why I spent so many years involved in it in the first place. I'm dearly hoping that this effort is successful--for what it's worth, I have a good feeling about it--because the community needs this group, and it would be a damned shame to lose it.

So, consider this a call to all chorus alumni, friends and family on my flist: I know many of you just don't have time or energy for meetings or rehearsals, but if you can't sing or actively participate in the brainstorming sessions, please consider lending your ideas and energy in whatever way you can. I think there's some amazing potential here for the group to come back stronger than ever, but for that to happen, it will need its family to rally around it. I certainly plan to, within whatever limitations I have to put up with, and I hope the rest of y'all will, too.
