So earlier in the year I mentioned joining the Wellington Community Choir.
Well on Saturday night we had a huge concert at the Wellington Town Hall. We sold over 1400 tickets, which is amazing.
The concert was to celebrate five years of the choir being formed.
It was so much fun and the inspiration that has come out of the concert has got me revving.
Aside from our 200+ choir singing a wide repertoire of music. We also had a marimba group perform (I now really want to learn the marimba.) African drumming, and a guest choir Nota Bene, who were phenomenal (and I really want to sing with them too…though I don’t think I’m quiet that good). Oh and ukulele’s as well (which I played in the concert)
During rehearsals I got some nice comments from some of the other singers around me…one aparently I’m a strong singer, and I got told I sounded really good. I made me smile, those singing lessons through high school have paid off.
My voice was a bit worse for wear the next day, as I have also been fighting off a cold, but it was well worth it.
The concerts are always what I look forward too, as it shows the effort, love and joy that me and my fellow singers have for singing.
So my inspirational message this week/month: do something to show your love and joys.
