OK Crew... I may not get to check this site any more. HAPPY TRAVELS. I'll be on site by Sunday. Don't forget your music. See you at war. Drive safe... be ...
Well, I have arrived home safe and with out incident. I hope that all of you did so as well. WOW, what a pleasure it was to have the opportunity to direct...
Hey gang I'm doing some post pennsic space and rehearsal suggestions to the powers that be. Are there any comments on rehearsals? space? use of tents? ...
FYI, I sent email to next year's coordinator, Lady Gwendolyn the Graceful (who it happens I know personally). I asked if she would be willing to schedule an...
I appreciated the water in the Performing Arts tent. It was a great space to rehearse and perform. The tent near the bath house was grim and a bad decision on...
Water in PA tent. Got it. Yah that was pretty decent!! Arianna - what times did you request? Maybe we could get some feedback from people on the selected...
I planned to stick with 4pm - 6pm for rehearsals in the hopes that this would allow fighters to participate. For me personally, since my husband fights, it...
Though it turns out I was not able to participate (due to a flare up of my asthma and some family responsibilities) from the one rehersal I managed to attend I...
I liked the time for rehearsald being 4-6. I'd go with it. Originally I requested an early rehearsal during the day of performance, but it didn't happen and...
Thanks for the input and I'm sorry that you couldn't come and have more fun. ... I think that one misconception is that the rehearsals are to "learn" the...
... LOL. The concert has conflicted with Meridian court since I've been singing in the choir - about 10 years now? Luckily, it is usually right across the...
... More like 20 years! I think the first Choir by Jocelyn was in '85-- I might be off by a year, but no more. There were only a couple dozen of us singing...
Hey Elfrida I wish you were there this year, you would have LOVED it. The Choir did a wonderful job. I was trying to figure out the directorships and get an...
... [snip] ... [snip] Yes, Estrella is alive and kicking (even if our head wrangler took time off to have a darling baby daughter). I've been following with...
You have 2003 in there twice, so take everything under Pennsic 30 back one year. I sang under Elfrida on the "Mass Bits" concert, and with Jocelyn a couple of...
I think you raise some interesting points. (I'm the one who came to only one rehersal this year, so what I'm about to say needs to be considered in light of...
I wasn't there this year, but I have sung with the choir several times in the past, and I wanted to add something to this thread: I am one of the many who does...
... Thanks for the feedback. For next Pennsic, I intend to have the sheet music available online for download, with MIDI files of individual parts and all...
If I go (which I probably will) I am willing to help you with keyboarding. Please do not take this as a committment yet as much still can change, but please...
... Reverse that. My first year was 1995 and we did the conglomerate Mass, and the second was "music about musicians" and Purple madrigals in 1996. I...
Thanks! Let's talk in the early spring, then. Any other volunteers? Arianna ... Karen Kasper "Only the educated are free." Epictetus (55 AD - 135 AD),...
Hear, hear! I was quite annoyed inside, too, with the lack of proper respect for our needs. I do believe we can make it clearly known that we really can't...
... I have to disagree with the year on this one...it was very early in my Pennsic career that I performed in that concert. I'm pretty sure it was in the...
Um, "powers that be"? Before we start a revolution here, let's make sure what and who we're talking about. Those "powers that be" are a bunch of volunteers -...
... Which is why I have already emailed the lady in charge of the PA tent for next year, and will continue to maintain contact with her. It probably doesn't...
Hello everyone! I was the tall, lone Trimarian at this year's Pennsic. I had a wonderful time at my first Pennsic and participating in the KW choir played a...
Very true, Ysabiau! Many times the things we do can have amazing and unforeseen long-term effects. I would also like to commend Erlan for maintaining her cool...
Thank you, Lady Ysabiau, for your kind words of affirmation. I hope that next year I, like your Atlantian friend, find a way to fit more music into my...
I have to say THANK you VERY much for ALL those kind words. It really really means a lot to me. Each director will concentrate on different things... and I ...
