The chorus director says it may be August by the time the video of the performance comes out,
as a lot of editing is required, both visual and audible.
The director was complaining to me that
the mikes in some places picked up
the worst singers in their respective sections,
instead of the better singers in their sections.
It was funny to witness the director imitating the awful noises
that some of the choristers were making.
I know what he means because one of those choristers was directly behind me!
He was bawling in my ear from beginning to end.
Ah, the pleasures of an amateur community chorus.
But maybe my singing bothers someone else just as much, who knows?

I know that my second soprano section includes a singer whom I think of as "the mosquito,"
because her voice whines just like the pesky insect.
There are enough singers in each section who have a decent vocal quality
to support and somewhat mask the inadequate voices.
We are fortunate to have the balance in voices that produces a good overall sound.
And we have a director who is not only a good musician
but has a special gift for finding the best in people and getting along well with everybody,
which I think is somewhat rare.
I hate to think what would happen when the chorus loses the director,
and he is getting old enough to think about retiring one day.
