The beginning (first song) of the end (last performance) for this year’s Chorale.
Our performance this evening was the last official concert as a choir, so after dinner and warm up we gathered in the basement and shared memories from throughout the year. After a time of prayer we headed upstairs for our final program. This was arguably the best performance of the year and emotions were running high as we drew nearer and closer to the end. The tears started flowing during Matthew Schmidt’s opening solo in “Loch Lomond”, and didn’t stop throughout the rest of the concert. The choir sang their hearts out and many members stated after how tired their voices were from leaving everything they had out on the stage.
After the program had wrapped up we took time to say goodbye to those that we will likely never sing with again, and then headed out to the bus for our third two hour trip in the day, this time back to RJC. This tour has definitely been a highlight of my year at RJC. Throughout the tour we had an amazing time singing our songs, hanging out with friends, getting to know each other better, and of course sitting on a bus for hours on end (special thanks to Ben Bueckert our awesome bus driver!) Thanks for following the blog throughout the tour and thank you also for supporting us all year long.
