Thank you — everyone — for an outstanding performance last evening. It goes without saying that this was a huge milestone for us. I sincerely appreciate the personal sacrifices made by so many of you to take on this challenge; this would not have been possible without your dedication.

Thank you especially to Rick Regan, Matt Kowalski, Eric Joseph, Rachel Eckhaus, Marge Hone, Claudia Mickelson, and the rest of the Board for their support of this performance project For those of you returning to work today, I the memories of last night’s performance “fuel the fire” of your day.

Now the hard part: Remember that Monday’s rehearsal at TMH is critical. We have only 3 Mondays until the Spring Concert on May 19, and four new pieces to add to those already rehearsed for last night’s program. I am working to post recordings of Arabesque, San Antonio Dances, The Solitary Dancer, Beautiful Colorado, and Melody Shop in order to speed up the learning curve. You’ll get notice when these are posted. Please do practice as much of the new pieces as possible before Monday so we are not completely sight-reading.

Lastly, we had all the WSW polo shirts ready to distribute last night (thank you, Claudia, for organizing and tagging them all), but getting them to you was overshadowed by the performance. We’ll have them ready to give out on Monday night.

See you then!
