!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! I mean WOW! Or to put it in other words, wow! Being a part of GALA was such an amazing and profound experience. Writing about it makes me want to put an exclamation point at the end of every sentence. It was thrilling to perform for such a large supportive crowd. As a relatively small group, we don't often get the opportunity to sing in big theaters for 1000s of people. The roar of the crowd in Miami was exhilarating. I teared up as we were leaving the stage! I loved seeing all the different groups and really marveled at the variety of size, sound, style, dress, etc. among the choruses. The only down side was the weather, which left something to be desired (wet, humid, muggy, sticky, HOT...). Thank you to all of our family, friends and supporters who made this week possible. I will SO be there again in 4 years!

Julie (okay, Julie's camera) took this photo of us shortly after our performance. Getting us all into place was like herding cats, so sadly, there are a few of us missing,but most of us are here. You can tell that we did well (or that we're happy to be finished!)
