Preparing for Competition

I am packing for my trip to Orlando for competition! Dress rehearsal at Franke's went well despite the stormy weather. I appreciated all who came out to cheer us on. The quartets were fabulous!!! Put a Ring on It sang one of my favorite songs about having pockets in dresses--my mother sewed pockets in all our dresses and I carried coins and ginger candy in mine. Brought back happy memories. 
The contest will be livestreamed Sat. April 5th here: https://youtube.com/@coastalharmonysai?si=OfAMgr4rCDb5c0In  Charleston Sound Chorus is scheduled for 2:24 pm. Please pray for us--for a safe journey and that our best will win 1st place in small chorus :)

Lovely! I also salute your choice of tops, a variation on the "black-only," with swirls that sing. What a great experience

What an amazing experience! I sang in a madrigal choir in middle school that competed. It was hard work, but lots of fun. You look so beautiful and full of joy!

I loved the sparkly blue on our black tops, Mirka.

Jenni, that's so cool. I'm actually considering auditioning for one myself, given my love of sacred polyphony.
