Last night was Rose Pink's choir concert in Dallas. Since it was on Monday, I was the only one who went. We left home at 7:30 am and drove up to Dallas to the Meyerson Center downtown.
Then the waiting began.
When you're in a concert that involves five choirs and 400 people, there is a lot of waiting. They found their stage positions and practiced moving between them for the various numbers, and then did a full rehearsal. Then it was 4 pm and we all went back to the holding room for our choir until the first show at 5 pm.
It was quite a show. Rose Pink was of course amazing, and her choir was amazing, and all the choirs were amazing together. Rose Pink's choir sang "Beautiful Savior" and "The Little Drummer Boy" and "Carol of the Bells" and many, many others. My favorite was a version of "Mele Kalikimaka" that involved drums and hula dancers and chanting - very high energy and so much fun.
There was a second show at 8 pm, which I got to attend rather than assist backstage. After that we had a quick visit with some friends who came to see her.
Then it was off home through rain and dense fog. We got home at 2:30 am. It was a very long day, but a really great experience. I'm so glad that she has the chance to rehearse and perform with this choir.
