Show Time!

Yesterday was our final dress rehearsal before the performance. I made a soup in the morning, and after having lunch, drove to the temple. I only gave myself 5 minutes to get there, and hit traffic on Palm Canyon just before Alejo. I think because it was such a beautiful day (75 degrees) and there was that art sale going on at the corner it caused traffic to back up. I turned down Chino as soon as I could and drove down to the temple that way. I thought I was going to be late, but as it turned out everybody from the chorus was still waiting outside to get in. We had a very good rehearsal, Los Amigos stayed behind a little to hammer out "Red, Red Rose" to make sure our technique was there. I went home, chilled out, finally scrounged up something for dinner. Assembled my outfit, tried to get my hair to do something, and drove back to the temple. Los Amigos practiced once again, and then we went downstairs waiting for our start time. We entered the sanctuary at different entrances, and walked to the stage. The children's choir was very cute, and sang the first number with us. Ray, who was standing next to me, somehow didn't show up until after that first number was over. I think all in all, the show went well. We had a good turnout, and it was a very nice audience. Los Amigos did well on the three numbers we performed. Afterwards, there was a little cocktail thing at Mixie's, and then I needed to go home and rest. Get to do it again Sunday at 2 PM.
