One step at a time...

So, with that, I knew I can do it, as long as I get enough men to hold up the strong women voices.

As would the Cruise in Mission: Impossible, I gathered my resources, thought about the pieces, got permission to use my old choir's music, and made flyers. I've forgotten the time when the world ran on posters and flyers. It seems so... simple. Wouldn't it be nice if the world's problems can be solved by posters? Anyway, I was ready to roll.

Come Monday, I came back, armed with a head of hope, and, of course, posters. I popped in, pasted up the posters, and at the end of Chamber Choir, I quickly played my spiel: a CD of a cappella stuff, starting with The Impression That I Get by MMB, and pointed them to audition sign up sheets. I had my hook.

I came back the next day, bright and early for Junior/Gr. 8 Choir, and made the same spiel. I had sign-ups.

Back again on Wednesday, this time to do auditions. Only 3 people. That's fine. I was not deterred.

Thursday, back again, since I only had morning class. I even had 2 midterms the same day. I didn't care (well, I did my job with them, but I was focused ont the choir). I came with a vengeance. Auditioned people, and things were... going. It was a bit rough in that I wasn't sure if I would get enough men OR women in terms of quality mixed with quantity... Then came Friday, and it was finally looking up. But I still wasn't sure if I'd have enough. I decided to extend auditions for 2 more days.

And that leads us to beginning of this week. I heard from some people, I heard from some more. I even made the first cuts. I was on a roll! I just want to make sure I had enough strong male voices...

And, after a week's worth of intrepidation and anticipation, the first rehearsal/callbacks came, today.
