ForrestFest: A Welcome Home Concert
If you are in the Greenville/Bob Jones area and haven’t yet procured (free) tickets for this Friday’s concert, consider this as a virtual elbow jab. *nudge* If you haven’t yet heard of this concert, let me fill you in.
This Friday, October 19th, the Bob Jones University Chorale and Concert Choir are joining forces for “ForrestFest: A Welcome Home Concert.” The concert, which will be performed at 6:30 and again at 8pm in Stratton Hall, features the works of Dan Forrest. The concert lineup is:
- Arise, Shine!
- Three Nocturnes for Chorus and Percussion
- Basque Lullaby
- You are the Music
- Oread Farewell
Dan Forrest will be speaking at the concert as well. Rehearsals for the concert have been going extremely well. I am very excited to be a part of this concert (singing Baritone). It will be a very rewarding concert both for us performing and especially for you, the listener.
UPDATE: I have good news and bad news. The good news is that we’re sold out, and the bad news is that we’re sold out… Non-ticketholders can still get in, though. You just won’t get your choice of seats.

I think I’m going to have to settle for the cd.
I intended for months to come to this concert, but realized yesterday that I work that night (at 7pm). My church is also having its missions conference banquet at the same time, so if I got off work I’d really need to be at that instead. Ugh. Too many things happen in Greenville at the same time.
Oh… how are the HomeSat plays coming? My fiance’ wrote them.

Dr. Forrest: Thanks for the link!
Vanessa: Oh, that really is a bummer. But there will be a CD. In fact, I’ve been told that portions of our recording will be on a demo CD from Hinshaw as well since some of this music will be published by them in the very near future.
I think we will start recording the first two HomeSat skits next Saturday, afaik. Robert did a nice job writing them, but Doug (Ivan) was struggling to come up with a Russian accent.

600 miles is a long way to drive to come to a concert – but I’m sure it would be worth it. Unfortunately, I can’t be in two places at once and tomorrow night I must play for our Revival Services. Get the CD for me, please! Thanks bunches!
