Just got home from the choral concert and, as predicted, it was a wonderful show. A number of our ukulele players also attended, and some commented how lucky we are to have the Choral Director be our ukulele Music Director.
I might get an opportunity to talk about it one on one with chorus members this evening, during the break at their concert.
I was pleasantly surprised when a number of the choralists came up to me before the concert, during the break, and at the end, and made positive comments about my "out of tune shouting" last Monday. The Assistant Choral Director, who actually directed that number, came up to me and, without prompting, said "you were in tune for the whole thing on Monday". Whew! Prior to this evening, I was starting to get an inferiority complex because I hadn't used monitors to tell me I was singing in tune.
A number of folks asked me if/when I'd be joining the chorus but, alas, one has to live in their community to participate. A couple of folks jokingly offered me their address so I could fake my residence. With their Choral Director being a long time friend, it would be tough to get away with that
One of the choralists told me she'll be joining our ukulele group. Rumor has it that there are six others who plan to do the same; That will add some "good" volume to our singing (and they'll be in tune).
