NatPhilChorale 101

This professional chorale thing is a new experience for me in many ways. Tonight let me tell you about my new friends in the soprano section.

I sit next to Theresa and Polly.

Polly used to dance on Broadway and a few touring shows. This was back with Mary Martin, so Polly's up there in years. She missed our last concert because she took a fall and had to get a few stitches. Tonight Polly turned to ask me a question. I thought she was asking what page we were on when she wrote a couple of numbers on her music: 94, 95, 96, 97. But she was really asking which year it was.  :( So sad. Every week when I sit by her, I'm not sure if she'll remember me.

Theresa sits on my other side. She is so cool. She's like the cool mom that you always think you want growing up. One night one of the first soprano divas repeatedly made some snippy comments to our section. Theresa turned to me each time and gave a hushed "Kiss my a$$ response.' It was so out of context that I couldn't help but laugh each time. Theresa always make rehearsal fun.

And there you go.
