In the rehearsal yesterday, we realized that there were only eight tenors in chorus. This looked like a bad sign, but it turned out that we all did pretty well.
Despite the crowd, I think we sang great. The two classical pieces went down well, and Mr. B made it clear to the audience how difficult they were. It was nice to have that sort of appreciation. The "Turtle Dove" blend into "Soon I Will Be Done" was smooth, and worked well.
As far as ensemble songs, we were good. We definitely sounded better than we did during our last gig. Although we did do everything we did then, we did some new stuff too, which all carried well with the audience. Peze Kafé especially, considering that we put it together completely in the past few weeks. We put on a good show.
The rest of the concert went really well. The guys did well in both "Kde Su Kravy Moje" and "Homeward Bound". The senior plaque distribution, although it took a long time, was relatively quick. I congratulate both SF and RG on their awards. And then we ended with "Battle Hymn of the Republic", which was great.
And then the encore, with my brief solo. I'd like to say it went
smoothly. It didn't, I forgot some of my words and stopped singing
briefly, but that was okay for the song we did, since it was comedic
anyway. The jokes definitely carried with the audience, and that was
good enough.
Good concert overall. Would have been nice if more people would have showed up.
