Not much to say about the concert other than it was TERRIFIC! with praises from all for KSB’s performance. And really, it was an honor to share the stage with the other boychoirs, some SATB, some just treble, but all doing what we do – making excellent music with a great group of boys.
Imagine the post-concert reception: You know that thing that happens when our boys can’t stop singing after a concert is over? Lobby of the Kimmel Center after the Jerusalem Youth Chorus concert comes to mind…
Now multiply that by five boychoirs, and you’re there. South African, improvised, Festival rep — you name it!  This is the first all BOY PICfest, so the post-concert Jam seemed like a novel experience for the organizers, who had dreamed of this night for a long time. For the directors of the boychoirs, especially those of us with changed voice boys, a “welcome to our world” moment.
The tenors and basses from KSB, Florida’s Singing Sons and Boychoir of Ann Arbor can’t get enough of singing together, so when Fernando announced that the tenors and basses would be released after the mid morning break, they all headed to a lounge with a piano and kept singing together for the rest of the morning. By the way, when we saw each other perform last night, we all realized that we sang with the Boychoir from Ann Arbor at the Baltimore Boychoir Festival last year.
It’s a free afternoon, so KSB and Florida Singing Sons headed to a park to play ultimate frisbee, or to keep the card game going, and now they’re off to go swimming. We’ll be back to the singing tonight. Everyone is healthy, happy and having a great time!!Â
