Do you feel like I do after the big show? A little down?
It was fantastic. We were wonderful. The audience was wonderful. They loved us. A standing ovation! (I told you so. Glad we had the encore ready.) The second standing ovation, we bow again and say our thank-yous, and clean up.
And it's over.
For the next few days there's relief, but also a sadness.
We worked really hard and gave our all, and the joy is intense, but so short-lived!
It's got a name, this feeling: Post-Show Depression. Really. Some people get hit really bad.
We're so lucky to have the seniors' visits lined up so that we can continue to perform our music for a while, so all is not lost. And, we know we'll be back in rehearsals in September. But, the big show is over. And, it makes most people feel at least some sense of loss.
Rest assured, it's normal and most of us were affected in one way or another.
Even if the thrill is fleeting, it's totally worth it, isn't it?!!
Yours in harmony,
Renate
