Our group was one of about ten children's choruses that performed for a packed house. Other groups included the Boston Children's Chorus, directed by Anthony Trecek-King, and the Boston City Singers, under the direction of The Big Sing organizer, Jane Money, as well as other school and community choirs.
Like the other choruses present, the ATN Festival Chorus sang songs for their peers, the audience members, and an adjudicator who gave feedback in written form sent to each chorus's director after the concert. The ATN Festival Chorus's song choices were "Camelot," from the musical of the same name, and "Ease on down the Road," from The Wiz. The kids did a fantastic job in front of the largest audience most of them had ever performed for previously. At the end of the concert, our kids joined the other children's choruses to sing When I Close My Eyes by Jim Papoulis in a combined chorus of over 280 voices.
It was a fabulous experience for all of us involved--kids, parents, and directors. We are already looking forward to The Big Sing 2010!
