Chorus season 24

[dancer44]

 Had our first rehearsal of the 24th season on Sunday.  We got a whopping 14 new members; must be a record.  The bass section got three new low basses, which we really need.  there are only three of us at present; the rest of the basses are upper.  I've also been made the bass section co-leader.  I don't think that it's a lot of work, so I accepted.  Looks like it will be a good season.  We're also in planning mode for our 25th season next year, which will include a guest artist.  Last time we did this, it was Bernadette Peters.  No one knows who the final choice will be, but we should hear by next rehearsal.
    I'm beginning piano classes again this week.  I've been wanting to for a long time, and I finally bit the bullet.  I'm going to an intermediate group class for a while, and then I plan on switching to private instruction.  Last time I took lessons must have been 25 years ago or so.  Oh my.

We only have a single bass section, too, but when the music splits the bass line, the low basses come into their own. There isn't enough music written with a good bass line IMO. We're always struggling to reach those high baritone notes that seem so common in today's music.
