Just a short post today- long day today and another one tomorrow.
We can’t believe that PICFest is almost over! Fitz and I had to really think about what day of the week it was and when we realized today was Saturday we couldn’t believe it. Good thing we have our tour journals to keep us on track!
Rushing to the concert- can’t miss it!
Watching Hail Mary the Queen perform.
We had 2 very productive rehearsals today, our evening one with the instrumentalists. The sound coming from that rehearsal room is stunning! It’s phenomenal how much you can achieve with these guys in just a few days. At the end of our final rehearsal together, Dr. Snow pronounced, “You’re ready.” Encouraging words indeed!
We love our new friends from the Philippines!
After lunch we rushed to make a concert featuring the Hail Mary the Queen Children’s Choir at the Hult Center and the hurry to get there was absolutely worth it. These kids are so talented and their director, Theresa, is incredibly kind and wonderful with her singers. We asked if they would ever be interested in visiting the east coast and we were met with an enthusiastic “YES!” (Did you get that, Mr. Fisher??)
A very fitting hat 🙂
Following the short concert, we walked to the Saturday Market, a fascinating flea market with handmade trinkets and gifts, live music, and dancing hippies! What an entertaining afternoon for our singers!
Taking the city bus into town- like NYC subways but everyone is MUCH nicer.
Back to campus we went for dinner and our final rehearsal and then an ice cream social!
Tomorrow is our big Gala Concert! We can’t wait- wish you could all be here to enjoy the fruit of this fun and intensive week of music-making!
