STANCE was a huge success

Oh man I am so overjoyed with how our choir shows went! Holy fuck, joining this choir was probably the best decision I’ve made in a long time. Every show we’ve done has been wonderful and the people are so great and I love spending time with everyone. It’s great being surrounded by fellow ADHD transgender/nonbinary weirdos who all have music in common but so many disparate experiences and ideas and just like, oh god so much talent from everyone.

We’re between seasons now and it’ll feel weird not having rehearsals every Wednesday evening for the next couple months, but there’s a lot of talk about doing plenty of social gatherings in the interim and I’m very much looking forward to that.

I definitely want to shout out to Haven for making such a, well, haven, and Kaelee for being an amazing musical director, and Mikey for being a great piano accompanist, and of course Rosemary and Thea for being great section leaders (and the other section leaders were also amazing too of course! I just didn’t work with them directly). And all the other performers were just aaaaaaa so good and I love how I was never made to feel unwelcome even though I don’t have a choral background.

Anyway I volunteered to do the mixing/mastering/editing of the concert videos for the YouTube channel, so hopefully I’ll be able to share at least a taste of what the experience was like for everyone else.

Also, thank you everyone who made it out to the shows! I don’t know how many folks were there to see me specifically but it was great having such a big audience of supportive people. I am so glad I could be a part of this.
