Two concerts

Saturday was a two-concert day for us - one we attended, the other we sang in. When we came back from the Revels performance Friday evening, we stayed at Katie and Savanna's place instead of going back to Vermont, had breskfasf wiith them Sat. a.m  - scrambled eggs and nice freshly baked muffins-and then headed down to South Hadley Falls to the lovely new Public Library where Brendon was in a concert with the South Hadley Children's Chorus. Each song they sang had some connection to a children's book, e.g., Kipling's Jungle Book, A. A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh, Travers's/Disney's Mary Poppins, etc., so after the children sang a song, the librarian read a portion from the book it was based on. The children sang very well, and it was a charming program.

After this concert we had lunch with K, S & B at the Tailgate Deli in South Hadley, and then Ellen and I came back home, picked up some things and hightailed it to Putney for our River Singers concert warmup in the newly renovated Next Stage - the former United Church of Putney now a classy theater and performing arts space. A new venue for us.

I led the choir again Sunday morning in Dummerston and then we had a Music committee meeting after church, a second River Singers concert in the afternoon, and a rehearsal of Carmina Burana in the evening. A full day!
