Hello Everyone:
There are some times in life when I am in such awe, I can’t find the words to adequately voice my feelings. This is one of them. When I think about what a great honor is to be given us tonight, I can’t help but think of all the moving parts that got us to those risers tonight. There are far too many to list because there are so many large, and even small, seemingly unheralded ones, but they will all be there, on display for a somewhat untapped community of WNY musicians.
Over the history of BCAS we have built a fabulous team of thinkers, doers, singers, workers, guiders, leaders, all in the quest for choral excellence. All THAT is being recognized tonight, as we sit, sing, stand together to honor the choral art. And it is because of what and who we are, and what we do, and even though we are being inducted into the BMHOF with such different types of musicians as The Steam Donkeys, and Fair Trade, etc., know that I am so proud of our discipline, our manner of performance, and the level of that performance.
Thank you to each and everyone of you for all the great memories of tonight.
I’ll see you in your seats at 6:40-6:45 with music in order, with pashminas lovingly looped around your beautiful necks, and with those vibrant, PLAIN ties knotted around those handsome throats.
BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
M
