Well!
Saturday was certainly an experience. The day started early for me as I had to complete the staging (after having taken it to pieces on Wednesday, because of Friday's funeral in St Paul's). So - up to the church at 9 o'clock, coat off and set to. Then off to pick up Jonathan, our organist for the concert, from Woldingham Station. After settling Jonathan, off to Sainsbury's to pick up glasses, juice etc and then back to the church.
A good afternoon rehearsal, helped Jasmine get tea ready for our guests (instrumentalists, soloists and Paul, our esteemed MD) and then sat down for a brief respite befor girding up my loins, getting changed into my DJ and getting ready to give it my all.
The concert went really well, with lots and lots of very nice comments from the audience. Two possible new men singers were approached and spoken to during the interval and then the excitement of Leonard Bernstein's "Chichester Psalms", followed, as usual, by clearing up. Everyone helped, for which I am eternally grateful, and I finally got to sit down to a glass of wine before bed at jsut before 11.00.
Shattered, exhausted but elated! I hope everyone had as good a time as I did.
