The HCC Chamber Choir got up very early this a.m. (6:30 a.m.) to get ready for the competition. We had a quick breakfast, thanks to Linda & Kim, and off we went to perform at the Salle Andre-Mathieu (Le College Vocal de Laval) for 9 a.m. The choristers, despite a challenging accoustic, performed well and the cheers shouted out by our Hamilton (parents) fans was wonderful to hear!
We are off to perform today in the contemporary category for 5:45 p.m. Two other adult choirs, Univox (Toronto) and Oron (Alberta) are also competing in this category...this will be interesting. Afterwards the choristers will enjoy dinner provided by the festival and return back to the hotel to go swimming and shopping.
The competition structure has changed since we arrived. Finalists will be chosen based on best score and will compete in the final to be held on Saturday at St-Rose Church @ 6 p.m. Results are to be shared on Friday...we will be sure to keep you posted.
Of course, there will be more to speak about and show (pictures) tonight....stay tuned!
