Time for a Change and Then Some

I know, I haven't posted in a while. I was quite busy with job hunting (yes still) and with my chorus activity. In July we had a GALA Choruses Festival here in Denver and it was fabulous. I was actually working on a dining guide for out of town visitors for the festival as I always wanted that when I went to other cities for festivals. I thought it would be really easy but it actually was very challenging. I had no idea how difficult it would be to narrow down all the information in my head. Ultimately it came along and I was pretty happy with it. I will probably transfer some of that information when I take it down soon, stay tuned.
I think I had the most fun at this festival because I didn't have to travel and since I wasn't working I was able to attend more concerts than ever before. It was nice to not have a bedtime and having plenty of time to visit with people. All of the Denver Choruses played ambassadors and it was really fun talking to all kinds of choral geeks from other cities. I made all kinds of new friends...
I attended the "Big Gay Sing" which was so much fun, but the highlight was Stephen Schwartz (yes, THE Stephen Schwartz) making an appearance at our closing ceremonies....wow. I was blown away. I am sure that this will be one of the greatest festivals ever.
