By Jove, we did it!

Second place in a very, very strong State Championship competition ain't too shabby. We should be proud.
As a director/coach, I'd take our players any day over the other guys. Any day.
Way to go....whoop, whoop!

What we are doing now...

We are finalizing details, learning the last few pieces of music for the tour, doing the last few gigs, and generally getting ready for the biggest adventure of our lives! We still have the State Championships (tomorrow), our final concert (May 29) and our Camp Camerata (June 16-20) - where I get to see just how tuff these kids really are. Bootcamp - with a bit of fun thrown in. At the close of camp, we are playing a free concert at Riverfront Park - 4:30PM June 20th. On Sunday, June 22 we are going to rock the morning service at the First Congregational Church and then blow the audiences mind that night at our farewell concert at the First Presbyterian Church ($10). Joining us for that concert on the Tchaikowsky "Souvenir de Florence' will be ex-Camerata members Erik Peterson (Colorado Symphony), Sarah Knutson (San Francisco Symphony), Adam Esbensen (Boston Symphony) and violist/composer Kenji Bunch. After a week of boot camp, this concert is guaranteed to raise the roof.

Six weeks until "D" day

Departure.
