Question Answered

Well, Chamber Chorus did not rise to my expectations. Some did. Most didn't. However, that being said I think it will still work. But is that enough?

Is it enough to be good enough?
Is it enough to be satisfied with your performance?
Is it enough to think you know your part and criticize those whom you think don't know theirs?
Are my expectations reasonable?

Who knows? I only know that we have one concerned Conductor. Now is not the time to play it safe. It's a time to know it and know you know it. It's not the time to be a part of the timid crowd but a time to be a leader - a strong leader. I have a feeling that if people don't step up at this time - they'll be asked to step down later.

You cannot beg for food to eat and then, when it's given to you, cry and ask for milk. You either chew the stuff up and swallow it - or you stay in the crib. It's tough music and it calls for tough people. I hope we have them.
