I've been putting off reviewing the concert because we had someone create a video of the whole thing (yes!) and we're figuring out the best way to share it with everyone.
I had hoped to be able to say something like: "That was one of our best concerts and you can see for yourself. Here's a link to our concert video." But, that's not happening yet.
I'm looking forward to everyone seeing themselves and hearing how great we sounded and looked. I'm so proud of how professional you looked and moved, what excellent performers you are, especially considering that we're a non-auditioning community choir with many people who don't read music or have any vocal training. I'm so happy to see your hard work paying off.
And, I want to send the video to people who have moved away or couldn't continue with choir for any other reason. "We're still strong and still singing and wish you all could have joined us. We did get a couple of people from the past to come back for the concert and it was so cool! You'll see Michael in the tenor section and Kevin singing bass and playing the guitar." This video will give us all lots of good memories.
Some people had been saying that they thought we wouldn't sound as good as we did when we had 60 members and a waiting list. Well, you'll hear it. The smaller choir sounds fantastic, maybe even better. It's still a big choir, and the big choir sound is definitely there.
We will have the sound recordings up on the website soon. So, look for that on the Concert Recordings Page, and the video will be put there at the bottom of that page when we can figure it out. Future videos can be there too, and maybe we'll decide to have a new YRCC YouTube page. What do you think?
I took a few screenshots while I watched the video. I put them on the Photo Gallery on the YRCC website, so everyone can see them. Here's one that I love:
