six is more than five
So, I thought to myself, if five singing groups is good, surely six would be better! Tonight I auditioned for, got into, and rehearsed with one of the Big Choirs in Town, one of the ones that performs at the Kennedy Center. There are now six people from my church choir in my group, which means I can get a free ride home from rehearsals. Less conveniently, this choir requires $75 in dues and $150 for a concert dress - ugh. (I haven't seen it, but I promise, it's ugly.) But they're doing my favoritest requiem ever in May and a lot of cool, challenging music in April, so I think it's worth it. It's possible I may find a way to keep singing with them next season, too...we'll see how it goes.

wowie! congrats! have i heard of this bigbad choir? you'll have to keep us informed of the performance dates. then i can brag to everyone i know that i've got a friend singing at the Kennedy Center. oooh.
(wait. everyone i know here is probably all people you know. and they'll know already. dammit.)
Ohmygosh! I forgot about that. J.Vo is referring to the time in college when I discovered, shortly before a concert, that I no longer had the concert dress. Couldn't find it anywhere. I had to borrow A.J.'s. Did that dress ever turn up?
I still have the dress from the choir I joined in 2003, so I have a much better choir dress track record now. Maybe eventually I'll collect a dress for every choir in town so I can drop in on them all.
Men have it so easy in choirs, with the whole tux thing.
holy cow, that is one heck of a packed schedule. Have fun!!!
Man, I go and veg out for a week with the finally waning end of the first trimester morning sickness and you go off and joni another damn choir! Towwas, do I need to stage an intervention? Choirs Anonymous anyone?
Ooh, "joni" a choir. Hmm, joni mitchell? She's cool, but not so choirish.
