Today, we decided to start this blog, counting down the days until our participation in the GALA Festival in Miami in July (yup, Florida in the summer!). In this way, we can share our excitement, our progress, our plans with you, our loyal fans and supporters.
So, you may ask: Where are we in our preparation for GALA? We're just beginning, though many of us have registered. We're hoping to have as many chorus members participate as possible, which could potentially be up to 25 people, which would be so exciting. Right now, we're focusing on raising money over the next several months, so that we can ensure participation by as many singers as possible. We want to make a big showing--maybe even a splash!--as this is our first appearance at the GALA Festival on our own. Four years ago, in Montreal, (the festival takes place every four years), we had just started as a chorus, and performed in tandem with Another Octave, a women's chorus from Connecticut. Now we are four years old, we have a new CD out, and we're growing stronger and bigger every day.
We hope you will follow our journey on this blog. Maybe you will even feel moved to make a financial contribution to support attendance by a member who could not have otherwise afforded to attend. If you think you might be able to contribute something, no matter how much--every little bit helps--we would be so grateful! We will do our part by posting here, putting audio and video clips of us as we perform and prepare, and thanking you profusely. And of course, we will do our very best to represent the women of Boston at GALA with pride and joy!
Stay tuned, check back, speak up!!
