We are safe and sound at the hotel -- and will soon experience the nighttime quiet of a sleeping choir, assuming that we can get the 6th & 7th grade girls to settle down. :-) They're excited to be on Choir Tour, and I think we all are.
We had two wonderful concerts today. First, we sang at the Baltimore City Juvenile Justice Center. The acoustics in the gym were surprisingly good and the young men in the audience seemed to enjoy our being there. The staff was incredibly kind and gave us a warm welcome.
We had visions of an afternoon lunch and games in a local park but the weather caused us a change in plans. Much to the delight of my shopper VIPs we headed to Towson Town Center for lunch and a few minutes of window shopping.
Then, we performed in the rotunda of St. Joseph's Hospital. Awesome acoustics in this space! The VIPs made good use of it and performed well.
We checked into our hotel, changed into our dress clothes and headed out to Little Italy for a nice dinner with music from a few local musicians. The VIPs heard a mix of opera and broadway. It was different music for many of them and I'm glad that they're willing to hear new sounds and types of music. The restaurant staff commented on how well-behaved our kids are.
And now -- it's time for lights out. This tired director needs some rest but first, I have to go listen at the doors of those 6th and 7th graders!
