It is officially Fall. I am busy again. I love it. You knew that.
Work is going well, keeping me busy and making me money! These are always good things.
I have also been working the Mozart Requiem which is really nice and I am feeling more and more confident in each day. This peice has been a real challenge. It is definitely not something I have ever sung, and it is in a style I rarely use. So I am really beefing up my classical voice in order to pull this off. I am suppose to be in the three other singing ensembles besides this one but it seems that I just can't make rehearsals lately. I am sure it will turn out fine... i think.
Classes are fine. I have a presentation Monday on Zeus for my greek religion class. I know nothing about Zeus. So my free time this weekend will be putting that together. Astronomy class is fine as well. I believe that this time around I got it, and I will graduate... finally.
However the BIG news is I decided this week to put on a benefit. THIS IS EXCITING!!!! I already have my people chosen and ready. About 80% of the songs have been chosen. We have our first meeting in two weeks. We will rehearse at a minimum to ensure efficiency and proficiency. Then we will put it up! This is a benefit to support the arts within the Asheville community, and with its performers. There will be a spectrum of songs. One girl is singing some of her original indie stuff. One girl is singing some great jazz standards. One girl is singing musical theatre greats. One guy is singing R&B tunes. Another guy is singing some classsic oldies. I am singing musical theatre tunes. This should be good! This will really be for anyone, because of the array of songs. It will also feature some of the best singers I know in this area. It should be a great show and a great time for everyone.
YOU need to know the dates! These are things to remember and keep with you. If you forget, reference THIS blog. Do NOT forget about these dates.

So if you need help on Zeus, give me a call. I have a ridiculous amount to knowledge on greek and Roman mythology. Have fun.
