That was the name of the program we put on at the Civic Center yesterday. Basically, it was a coming together of 4 choirs from various churches throughout the county and doing one big show for everyone. It was A LOT of work - lots of practices (especially for someone who doesn't have a whole lotta extra time to throw around these days) and having to really baby my throat (just hasn't been the same since being sick the week of VBS). After each practice I was really hoarse. I wasn't even sure I'd fit in with the sopranos by Weds at that rate!!
Those who know me well know that I'm a pretty emotional singer anyway. But throw in some patriotism mixed in with some reminders of all that God has done for us, and I'm a sobbing, blabbering mess!! Which then leads me right to Weds performance... :)
It was WONDERFUL! It went so much smoother than Tuesday's rehearsal but I'm pretty sure that a terrible last rehearsal/practice means everything will go great. (It always did when I was coaching cheer, anyway...) I got emotional at all the places I thought I would and in some that I didn't. It's hard to contain all those feelings of pride and thanks when you are facing an auditorium full of past and present servicemen and servicewomen.
At this point, though, I'm really really really glad it's over. Not because I didn't enjoy it but because it was draining me. A six hour school day, with an hour drive there and back, and a two hour rehearsal two days in a row does NOT = a restful Stacie. :)
