We are lucky to have these great music leaders who are so full of energy and focused on preparing the students for our performances. They keep bringing out the best in the students. Tonight was probably the best program yet! Jazz played for the mayor's reception before the concert and led off the first half of the concert in the beautiful and wonderful venue, the Guild Hall in Derry. The acoustics were very good and the chaperones commented that it was nice to actually be able to see the music. We were joined again by Irish tenor, Paul Byrum. He also noted that the ensembles were even better this week than at our first concert in Dublin.
Tomorrow, we are off to Belfast, rehearsal with another Irish tenor, Peter Curry, and a concert in Ulster Hall tomorrow night. The students all went right to bed tonight when we got back at 10:30 pm. The food has been wonderful here and we will be up for breakfast at 8:30 am.
