Harmony College finished on Tuesday at lunch time. We gave a standing ovation to the Stage Coaches - Gina, Karen and Jane - for their inspirational classes. It was excellent education- as good as the Rumours workshop in Hobart two years ago but with a different focus. I'm looking forward to seeing the competition in Newcastle, and I hope that all the competing choruses and quartets will put what we learned from this Harmony College into practice.
It was fun to be at Convention and not be competing, but I'm glad I signed up for the STAR chorus and had a chance to perform.
Apart from the size of the theatre, which prevented some family and friends attending because there were no seats, it was a stunning venue: a very intimate theatre, with great technical support; a beautiful setting on the water; and lots of restaurants and cafes and accommodation within walking distance. Everything ran very smoothly (thanks to the Convention organisers).
There were just a small band of CKC here but we had a lot of fun together, cheering for Verve and Accolade, going to classes, partying in each others' rooms (with luxurious apartments and superb views over the ocean) and eating out together. I think we all got to know each other better and I loved sharing alll these experiences with Inese and Julia. We also caught up with our ex-CKC friends: Di, Sharon, Rosemary, Leanne, Laonie, Anita, and others.
This is the end of this blog - I'm starting a new one for my holiday in the South West with Pete and Sue.
