Rep
Morning.
I have already been up and have sung for Wishart's Voice class. It was interesting, because I really wasn't sure what to expect, but the class chose that I sing first and leave, so they wouldn't be distracted for their performance. I didn't feel so hot about it, because I am still congested and very very dry, so in my head I didn't sound like I wanted, and I really hadn't memorized. I really need to be working on my repretoire a lot more. Yesterday Vicky went and performed at some function and I laughed because she has a distinctively different vocal library in her head than I do. She did an aria from Tosca, and three pieces by Bellini. I realized that the songs that I would pull out are all musical theatre, and that frankly, I don't have too many I can just pull out and perform memorized. (Mostly due to the fact that I hardly audition.)
So, I'll start working on rep.

Dark and Rainy Tuesday
Today is the day of my Aunt Florence's funeral. It is not expected to be above forty-five degrees, and no sunshine. :( Perfect day for a funeral I guess. I had to postpone the final projects in my class to thursday so I could go today.
My dad (who lost his older sister) seems no different than before she died. I am sure he must feel something but I don't know if or when we'll see it. I do not know what to expect today.
So, I am off to help with food and stuff for the funeral dinner. I am looking forward to seeing some cousins I haven't seen in a long time. That's all I have for now.

Now free to move about the country
On the move...
I'm going to be a bonafide gypsy this year! I am so excited! Tucker and I got word on Friday that we did get the Holland America job!!!
July 20th, we will fly out to the Final Frontier, to experience and learn about Alaska, so that we may aptly encourage those who have booked Holland America cruises to the Great White North, to take a land excursion as well! YIPPEE! After Alaska, we rehearse for a few weeks in the Northwest, and begin our work on August 23rd, in Minneapolis!
It is so exciting to think about... I only wish it were sooner, but there are plenty of things to take care of before then. So... all systems go for Alaska! North to the FUTURE!

Friday Morning...
So far so good today. :) It's only 9:30 am, I haven't really done anything, but I did catch up on some sleep last night. The night before, I didn't sleep well at all for a number of reasons, so yesterday I was in first gear most of the time.
Things have gotten a lot more busy for me in the next two weeks, because I took a job at a church for Holy week, (the Olympics of church music). Rehearsal last night, rehearsal tuesday, and many services next week, none of which I really know anything about. Growing up, our church just seems to do a special thing on Easter sunday and that's about it.
Tonight I see Tucker, which is a good thing. I miss him.
And that's about all for now. Having been out of the blogging/journaling world now for about a year, I am tentative to jump back in. (Maybe I'm afraid of what will come out.)
Alright, I'm off.
