Bus Rides
It is Monday, September 28th, and we are on our way to Rochester, NY on out longest bus trip yet--14 hours door-to-door! As I write with blood-shot eyes, I recall that our performance last night at North Carolina A&T University was one of our best performances yet. The crowd, though small, was extremely receptive and gave us a lot of suport with a standing O at both the end of the first and second half. So far it has been the case where, no matter what the size of the audience, or what their initial vibe is like when we begin the
concert, we always manage to bring them to their feet at the end.
Personally, this is
my first time experiencing this in succession and I have to say, it's a big motivator knowing that the audiences are most of all in support of our music and our mission.
On to the conservatory audience in Rochester! I'm looking forward to seeing old friends from Eastman and being back in my home state! For now, its back to catching some more Z's
