October 18, 2009 by Ro.
We have exciting news! We have been asked to be the guest vocalists at the Morris Choral Society’s holiday concert at the Bickford Theater in December! It is a huge honor and we are thrilled to be part of this. We are feverishly working on six Christmas songs for the show.
Unfortunately, for some reason, the songs involve a lot of syllables like “doo” and “dong.” We need little encouragement to regress to pottymouth days.
Rehearsal verbatim:
“We have to keep our doo-doos moving here.”
“What does ‘subito’ mean?”
“It means our doo-doos suddenly get soft.”
“I hate it when that happens.”
“Audrey, Steve and Jeff need to hold their doo-doos longer in this measure, otherwise Ro has a dangling doo-doo.”
“Ew.”
“What went wrong?”
“I think Jeff has been holding his dong too long.”
The merriment intensifies after we skip a week of rehearsing to accommodate various Back To School Nights. Apparently going 14 days without rehearsing allows pent-up hilarity to erupt uncontrollably when we reconvene, with Steve falling to the floor a record three times, twitching merrily, the other three in different states of rapturous ruin. At one point, gamely getting back to business, we resort to singing with our backs to each other, valiantly suppressing our laughter, but the telltale vocal quavering is enough to set us off and send Steve back to the floor.
Life is good for Moderately Bright Four, with many more upcoming performances, including some new venues, and a whole slew of new music to tackle, if we can ever stop laughing.
