Nate: It got two thumbs up.
Me: Out of how many?
*Pause*
Me: Wait, don't answer that!
See what school does to me! *SIGH*
Like I've said before, Disney Hall is amazing and in that same fashion our performance Thursday night was wonderful! As a choir it was the best we had sounded, not only were we comfortable with the notes and the cues, but we were also comfortable with the French. The second movement of our second song has only females singing so it gave me a chance to just listen to the music being made. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful! The only bad thing about the hall, is that not only can everyone hear the performers, but the performers can also hear everyone. I cannot tell you how distracting several people coughing during the performance became. Then towards the end of our last song, someone decided to get up and walk out into the lobby during a really soft part, so all I heard (and other members of the choir) was CLIP CLOP CLIP CLOP.Very annoying, but despite this and some coughing, the performance was wonderful. Surely these minor things didn't detract from our performance.
On a final, brief sidenote, the conductor of the L.A. Philharmonic is so amusing to watch conduct. Never have I seen someone flail their arms with so much control! His arms and hands are like noodles, but he has perfect and exact control of each of their movements. It's also amusing because he sucks his cheeks in like a fish face while he conducts. Very amusing!
Still one more performance tomorrow, and hopefully it'll be another wonderful performance! Only one way to find out....
