Sure, the weather in San Diego has been pretty wild -- it has been in the 80s coastline last week, & today? It's 92 & climbing 10am. October, you said?
However, I am not talking about the weather right now. There are changes at church, specifically, with the music ministry. Apparantly, the music director is no longer working at church. 'Apparantly', because I only heard it from third person, her daughter sang for the youth group, & there was an email from the priest to all the ministry. ok. I don't think he has my email address. LOL.
Back around Easter, someone had told me the administration has been asking people for eval of the director. & he said he has prepared if he got asked, and I should be prepared, too. (thank God, I didn' get ask!)
As some might know, I've been involved with the Choir in the past year. In most of the past months, whenever Steve, the Choir Director (note, not same person as music director) is away, I would lead the choir for Mass. During this summer, I also led rehearsals for a couple of times. In addition, Terry (Steve's wife, a professional singer, is in charge of cantor training & vocal coaching) was away the whole summer for concerts.... so where was I? Oh, yes, think of it as Steve's TA. :) Rehearal Technique 101. And I can tell you, church choir has VERY different dynamic.
Well... the liturgical year is coming to an end, which means we will begin to prepare for Advent & Christmas soon. We'll see what happen...
p.s. Steve & Terry will be away for 2 weeks later in Oct. But right now, I am enjoying activity that require lest brain power - a.k.a singing. A nice little break for now. :)
Speaking of break, saw on Steve's posted "secret schedule" that he's away today. I thought... it MUST be a typo! I didn't get the memo! He WAS indeed away today, in DC. But Terry led the rehearsal. :) At any rate, I should begin to look at the Messiah Choruses we are doing before the Midnight Mass ~ "And the Glory," "O Thou," For Unto Us," "Glory to God," & of course, "Hallelujia Chorus".
