Vienna, VA

A smooth trip home on a plane full of happy folks on vacation and on their way to visit family for Thanksgiving. I love flying on weekends – sure beats the general weary road-warrior atmosphere of the weekday flights. Happy to be home myself – I think the guys (my husband and teenage son) are tired of “batching it”, and I hope they’re glad to see me (even tho’ it means that the homework nag is back in town). And I get to pick up my daughter from college on Tuesday for the long Thanksgiving weekend.
Sometimes when the audition tour is over, the best repertoire and casting for the upcoming season come into focus immediately. This year is going to be different. We heard so many good people in all vocal categories that there seem to be an infinite number of options. Thomas and I started to talk through casting possibilities at the end of the tour, and I told him I think my brain is going to explode.
Thanks for taking this trip with us – wish we could’ve brought you along. Hearing all of these talented and dedicated musicians is inspirational, and having the opportunity to participate in the careers of some of the best and brightest is a real privilege. Hope you can join us in June to see how it all turns out!
