Well, I'm far from ecstatic at the moment...
There was no choir last week our conductor was busy with Les Mis put on by the Ignatians (which I'll be seeing next Friday). The actual rehearsal of choir went pretty well - I was singing pretty well, except for just a couple of bits. And it was good having piano accompaniment. However, our conductors life is too busy, and not enough enthusiasm from the people in the choir??, it seems. So, after a couple of weeks break, there'll be a bunch of rehearsals, then a final gig. Unfortunately for me, that gig will most likely be when I'm away in China (last two weeks of September and all of October). And then the regularity of the choir will end/disband or whatever. Unless - we get another conductor, or I think another option that was mentioned was having just a few short series of intense rehersals before a gig (as opposed to continuous rehersals), and having a few gigs a year, I suppose. But I'm not sure how likely that is...???? (or if I understood it correctly).
So this is pretty disappointing for me. :(
(I only joined it reasonably recently, well, mid March).
There are other choirs, of course. And I'll look around after I get back from my trip. But it probably wouldn't be as enjoyable... ??? (pessimistic, I know).
It's very average looking at choir ending from the other perspective. Choir is a great (regular) place (socially). I enjoy being around them all - a great bunch of people.
There's a lot more to this story, well for me there is... Worse.. I can't decide whether I should be posting it up here (been thinking about that for several months now)... But I need to go to bed now, long day tomorrow (on a course). (well that's the excuse for now....) :(
Listening to the same bridge and chorus over and over [[Boys on the Radio]]........ (worried about all the other junk about me). No, not about = close proximity; about = in regards to. (In case you thought it was bad things in Canberra.)
Anyhow, goodnight.
