Catie's take on today and a few pics!

Today was unreal. It was better but more tiring than I ever expected. It got off to an interesting start when for the first few hours we didn’t do ANYTHING. In Allegro we are always doing something but not this morning. We had time to go back to our rooms and chill (I actually had time to curl Dani’s hair which takes forever and a half.) But at lunch it started to feel more like an Allegro day. We ate fairly quickly then went straight into a rehearsal at the hotel (mad props (or ‘rock on’ for the parents) to the cello player who was amazing!) We then walked to the Meyerson Symphony Hall for a quick rehearsal - Meyerson was absolutely beautiful! For those of you who couldn’t be there, imagine walking into an over-sized brown ballroom. We had great weather today and walked back to the hotel to change. We were the second group to sing out of four. The concert was…. hard to put into words. It was probably the most beautifully I have ever heard an Allegro choir sing (and I have been in Allegro for almost 6 years.) After the concert the compliments seemed to come from everywhere. I even had one woman tell me our choir is why people teach music. One man said it was the highlight of his day. I’m just so proud of my Allegro family and our directors. –catie tucker

P.S. Miss Christy, your Cinderella shoes looked fabulous with your new dress which also looked amazing on you.

A few pics from our day!

We're here and ready to sing!

It was an easy drive to Dallas and we arrived at our hotel around 10:30pm last night. We stopped in Oklahoma City and had a nice pizza dinner. This morning we had breakfast sandwiches in the Allegro Suite which is a pretty awesome space! We'll be walking to rehearsal soon. Supposed to be 75+ degrees today. A beautiful day for a beautiful performance! Hopefully I can videotape some of it and post it tonight,.
