On the Road in Southern Utah with the Choristers

Well friends, we have all safely arrived in Cedar City, where we checked into our accommodations and proceeded to our concert venue to conduct a rehearsal for the two performances we will sing tomorrow. After a challenging (and the choristers indicated long!) rehearsal adjusting to a very different acoustical space than the Cathedral, we adjourned to dinner, and then...what else in the middle of winter...swimming!



Now admittedly, the school staff knew just what they were doing! Nothing wears a group of burgeoning adolescents out more than several hours in the pool. I suspect that the other guests in the Holiday Inn Express will be very grateful.

Tomorrow we rise early and travel to the Heritage Center Theater where we will present a first concert for school children at 10:00 AM. After lunch, our students will then be treated to a workshop presented by the staff of the Utah Shakespeare Festival. Following a rest and dinner, we present our first formal concert at 7:30 PM. Stay tuned - there is more to come!

Heard a comment by hotel staffer that the kids were so well behaved that they had feedback from other guests indicating so! I told her they were well trained...;)
