Competition day

Today is the day. This is the day we go to be judged. It's funny - we feel like we've already won. You see, we've done what we set out to do. We've touched lives with the music. No matter what the judges say today, we know that we've done a good job. It doesn't matter if we win. I mean, selfishly, we would love to win, but it's almost not important. Winning means that so many things have to come together. What's important is that we do our best today. Gotta sing our hearts out in the most competent and emotionally responsible way possible. Then, we can wak away with our heads held high, no matter who wins. No matter what, PSU Chamber Choir came to win the hearts of people through the way we approach and honor the music. If we can do that just a few more times...we are successful. We are competing in two categories today - classical and folk music. Two, 4 song sets. We will be done by 6pm, local time, then it's off to our hotel for some dinner and recap. A lunch and final concert tomorrow, then off to the Madrid airport for the journey home. It's been an amazing tour, once in a lifetime. And it will be an amazing homecoming. Wish us luck!
