...to our very own Concert Choir --- for receiving 1st place at the COWAPA Choir Festival. I guess you could say you're the COWAPA League Champions!!!
We aren't an automatic qualifier for State competition, but I'm sending a copy of our DVD to OSAA to be placed in the "tape pool" on the advice of our judges and the OSAA Administrator. So State is still a possibility. :-)
I want to thank all of you for your hard work singing your best. Yes - it's hard work, albeit fun at the same time.
Special thanks to all of you who helped set up, did clerking & stage management work during the festival and helped clean up. I could not have done all the work myself. Nathan and Angel - special kudos for your attentiveness and going the extra mile.
Someday I'll learn to delegate photography duties, too. I didn't take any pictures. If anybody took some candid shots of any part of our festival day (any pictures of choir members just hanging out), send them to me. I'll look them over and possibly post them here.
I'll type up the judges comments and we'll review them after Spring Break. I hope you all have a restful vacation. Me...I'll be cleaning up my "after-festival-disaster-zone-excuse-for-an-office". With a little tender loving care I think I can restore it to some kind of organization again. Keep singing.
