Farewell, ForrestFest

Posted by Peter on October 20th, 2007

After rehearsing some of the most amazing music in my life for the past month and a half, it’s hard to believe the concert is over. Overall, it went very well and Dr. Forrest had nothing but good things to say about it. :)

I was talking to a former music teacher of mine after the first performance. The first thing he said was something to the effect of, “That was probably the most amazing music I have heard in my life. Nothing was lacking.”

Me and my friend Jay hanging out before the concertI was super-privileged to be a part of this choir, and in a sense, I think I had one of the best “seats” in the house - front row, dead center. I got to see and follow every one of Dr. Cook’s gestures. I’m sure the overall sound was better out in the house (what with the percussion and everything), so I can’t wait to hear the recording!

The next big thing for my choir (Concert Choir) is Christmas Vespers in December. We will be singing 5 numbers (4 of which I haven’t seen yet - we’ve been so busy working on Forrest music lately). More later…

I made it to the concert and sat in the middle of the audience. It was my first Chorale concert attended on the other side of Dr. Cook. I found to be a special treat.
