Yesterday we got an invitation in the mail to a reunion/concert for people who were in the CWU Chamber Choir in the "Boers Years." Let me give you a history. Dr. Geoffrey Boers is a great choral director. He's a clinician all around North America, and is now the top dog at the UW. When I was at Central, I was in the top choir, in arguably the finest music college in the state. I sang in that choir for one year. Only 10 on each part make it. It was definitely one of the highlights of my musical life. We were good!
So, they're having the first ever reunion, this July. There's to be a rehearsal Friday night, then a couple of rehearsals during the next day, then a special concert at the new and spectacular CWU music hall. It's quite a to-do. And I want to go so bad I can taste it.
But I can't. Not with my back. It's just not something I could do. LOTS of sitting, LOTS of standing. So I have to click the box that says, "Sorry I can't make it but please keep me on the list for any future events." Even typing this, I get a little teary.
So I must keep on with the weight loss. WIth the scary back surgery. And hope there are future events. But this is the first event of its kind. There won't be another one of those.
