Our GALA performance
Well, we did it! Our 30 minutes on the GALA stage seemed to go by so fast. The audience responded very positively. When Benedictus ended, there was a long, long silence...longer than I've ever heard from an audience... followed by thunderous applause and a standing ovation. We got another standing ovation after concluding our set with Amen. I have been receiving compliments all afternoon from audience members. Right now I'm rushing back to the hotel for a quick costume change - SF Gay Men.s Chorus concert tonight - but I will post more later.

It was a difficult start. The group before us was in the midst of their final number when the lights went dim and the sound was shut off...a sign that your performance IS over. Period.
After Rick warmed up the crowd with I'm Not Afraid, the rest of MCCSF's set went by smoothly and quickly.
MCC Wosrhip and Praise Team's GALA debut was THE MOST BRILLIANT since the Indianapolis Gay Men's Chorus debuted at the Denver GALA in 1992! Everyone who saw the performance was completely blown away -- and I don't think I have EVER heard the Choir sing better.
Special congrats to Stephanie, Rick Rosser, Larry Novida, Jill Sizemore and the AMAZING band!
