sing in a choir again

I need to knuckle under and join the local choir up by work. Gotta call their office in the morning.

Okay, so both groups I tried out for waitlisted me. I did get excellent feedback from the director of the second choir, though—she said I had the voice to make it in her group, but that I needed to brush up my sight reading. Am now contemplating voice lessons to get myself up to snuff. There’s also the no-audition choir up by where I work, but that would make for a very late night on our rehearsal day. It wouldn’t be impossible, though…

Waitlisted by first group I auditioned for. Ah, well. Audition for next group tomorrow.

I’m continuing to practice. Have also spoken to someone at work who is a skilled pianist and can work with me the day before the audition—just to make sure I’m on the right track with the timing of the piece I’m meant to sing.

OK, so I didn’t actually give up on the goal of “sing in a chorus”; I just renamed it when I saw that “choir” came up more frequently on people’s lists.

I’m set to audition for a pretty prestigious local group late next week, but I know I’m out of practice (haven’t sung with a group since college six years ago) and not really qualified. There’s another chorus in Baltimore that I’ve contacted, but I haven’t heard back from them about audition times yet. If both of those are busts, there’s a really low-key chorus up where I work (40 min. away) that takes everybody. So, really, I’ll have no excuse if I don’t achieve this goal in short order.
