The Cleveland Orchestra Chorus has a rigorous schedule. During our season we sing every Monday, sometimes Sundays too and concert weeks we are at Severance every night. So when Summer comes along and we are given the choice to sing Blossom, it isn't mandatory. So this year, for the first time I decided to skip it and take some time for myself.
BIG MISTAKE!
So far, every Monday I've thought, Ugh, I could be singing tonight, and Friday is the big American Spectacular Celebration at Blossom Music Center.
I'm not singing but I am going!
Sean, Richard and I will set up our picnic on the lawn and have a great night.
So, I'll be singing every Summer from now on as apparently I can't last 8 weeks without it.
