No matter what gauge you use to measure the success of the show this year, it gets high marks! Certainly, our very best singing together ever. All the small groups and cameo parts were excellent. The set really looked great (Thank you Kevin and Deb for all the time you spent on those palm trees!), the lighting came together (it's going to be more and more fun to do that job),
the Cast Party was loads of fun, McPhly was awesome. Travis said to me when I was buying their CD, "We could come back next year. We'd know new songs by then." (He was quite serious.)
CDs are now available. A $1 donation is requested to buy more blank CDs.
Of course, when we have such a fine performance, I just get enthused and think about how much better we can be. The show plus an excellent workshop have me thinking about better ways to plan rehearsal and learn new music.
Now is the time to be thinking about the songs we will learn this next year. It takes at least 6 weeks lead time to start a song. We will be learning "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" this year as a new ballad since some of us are going to McCook in September, and we will sing it there.
