Every four years, GALA Choruses hosts an international music festival where member choruses diverge on an international city to entertain each other by singing our hearts out.  So, I’m on my way to the humid and warm city of Miami, FL for Festival 2008 and will, once again represent The San Diego Men’s Chorus.

This is my fourth festival having attended Denver (1992), Tampa (1996) and San Jose (2000).  I am very excited to perform our set and if I say so myself, I think we’re going to knock those delegates dead. 

It will be, however, very disconcerting to be away from LD and Diego.  This is the first time we’ve been apart for more than one night.  They promised me that they will be completely miserable without me, that they will pine away the minutes until my return and call me and text me every minute we’re apart. 

Right.  I made meals for LD and Diego for each day that I’ll be gone.  I labeled them clearly with instructions on how to heat and reheat them.  I hope they’ll be OK.   Right.

Our set in Miami will consist of “Let It Be” (by The Beatles),  selections from “Jersey Boys”, “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother”, and a salute to disco where we honor the music of “The Bee Gees”. 

We’re off early tomorrow morning.  I’ll talk at you later.
