This morning we had a Carmina Burana rehearsal from 10-1 in preperation for tonights 7:00 concert. The rehearsal went fairly well - this conductor likes slower tempos. He is also the Chairman in charge of organizing everything. Someone failed to mention to him that he's in charge of organizing everything. Luckily I'm staying with a very nice familz, the Öxlers, they have 4 kids. The oldest, Lisa, speaks very good English and is easy get along with. After tonight's concert there is a B-BQ, lets hope that the rain quits long enough for it to be outside. I swear it rains every day in Germany.
Tomorrow (satruday) we have the whole day off! I'm going to sleep in and go to Augsburg with my host sister in the evening. But first I'm going to go with her to work at the Cinema and see a movie for free... Ice Age in German
Sunday night is a joint Choir Concert with a couple other choirs and then we leave on Monday morning for Reihnsburg. This stop is not so busy, which is nice - the tour is starting to ware on me.
Oh, here's a link to an article from our stop in Lübeck:

You can barely make out Jean Marie and I on either side of the conductor. (this is the smelly conductor)
Reid, I guess it's pretty common for it to rain a lot in the German-speaking world during this part of the summer. My host mom said that it's rained pretty much everday for the last two weeks or so.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're eating lots of BBQ though- which is good!
I'm glad you're meeting such organised and pleasant-smelling people...
Glad to hear you're doing ok, and that "der Bariton Reid Hendersen" has been noted in print. :-)
ReplyDeleteGet as much rest as you can, and travel safely!
