Ybbsaide

It's been a while since my last post.  To see why, read Anglea's blog about the last month.

What is Ybbsaide you may ask.  It's an annual two week festival held in Ybbs (the town where my choir is located), featuring a performance each night at the city auditorium.  On Saturday, my choir performed a  potpourri of humorous, literary and musical skits lasting 2 hours.  It was a big production!  We have been rehearsing since completing our CD in February and last week we had 6 hours of rehearsal every day.  It all paid off though.  It was a hit with the sold out crowd of 600!  My solo part consisted of a few lines said by John Wayne.  The lines were in German but I didn't have to fight my American accent.  Although a lot of work went into it, the experience was a lot of fun.  After spending endless rehearsals with the choir over the last weeks, I've really gotten to know them well and have realized how lucky I've been to be able to sing with the choir.  Next on our schedule is our trip to Belgium in June!
