It's been awhile since the blog has been updated--sorry about that!
In the meantime, much has happened, and our preparation for GALA continues. We are now up to 21 voices strong going to sing in Miami, and hoping to hit a nice round 25! Leora is beginning to think about our repertoire, and we've begun to make our lodging reservations, so this is starting to get real (and exciting!).
Voices Rising members who were at prior GALA festivals keep us all excited with their stories and memories, and we're all really looking forward to it.
If you haven't heard about or don't know what GALA is about, you should check out the film entitled "Why We Sing", which was on PBS earlier this year. It's wonderful and so inspirational. We have shown it to the chorus, and circulated a copy or two around among members. We highly recommend it. Check out the links section--I've put in info about how to find out more about the film.
From here on in, it is our hope that posts and updates will continue, but will represent the multitude of voices that comprise Voices Rising. Members will write about their impressions, their experiences, their thoughts, their excitement, their preparation. We hope that in reading so many different people's perspectives, you will feel what it is like to be a member of this community, getting ready for GALA!
Check back soon for the first two Voices Rising member installments!
