Tonight's Concert
[I'm breaking this into short posts to improve the odds that they will actually post. LiveJournal is having some technical difficulties.]
Diverse Harmony has fallen on some rough times: their long-time artistic director left to pursue other opportunities, so they had to rely on an interim director/accompanist and a technical director up in the light booth. They have fewer boys now than they did so their arrangements have had to be re-balanced, but all in all they still sound good and are very enthusiastic.
From a rousing rendition of "Sisters" from White Christmas by a gay brother and his straight sister (she got to sing the line, "When a certain gentleman arrived from Rome/He wore the dress and I stayed home") to an enthusiastic rendition of "Purpose" from Avenue Q by a cute young man already filling into a fireplug build, who I thought resembled a very young Johnny Mac (a fellow chorine back in Rochester whom![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
redcub will probably remember), the kids were great.
Special guest star Alexandra Billings was a trip, punctuating rousing renditions of standards like "Being Alive" and "Let the River Run" with a few comic turns.
They closed the concert together with "Who Will Love Me As I Am?" from Sideshow, a song we'd done in Rochester some time ago.

Sounds like it was a great concert. ;-)

A couple of the SMC folks told me that Diverse Harmony moved their rehearsal night to Monday (which conflicts with SMC rehearsal) so a number of young men who were members of both groups (ages 18-22) chose to stay with SMC.
Oh, yeah, the fellow I described who sang "Purpose" has his own LJ as well:
