It's all about the people.

I played the cantata over the weekend. Like most events of this nature there were some great moments, and some not so great ones as well. But there was something really nice I noticed.

There were a lot of people in the audience last night, and they were LIVELY! Everyone on that stage can say that they don't care how many people show up, or that they don't care if people look disinterested during their performance but that is rubbish. The choir really fed off of the cheers and encouragement being delivered by the people in attendance. And to be honest, they deserve it. A lot of these volunteers care about this event and give a great effort so it was really nice to see so many people out for the second show.

When I play in the cantata, I'm usually off in the back corner and don't get a sense on how it is going on stage. So when I saw a full house for the second show, that made me feel good about how the first show went. Attendance for the second show can be influenced by word of mouth from the first. I also believe when the choir saw a full house for the second show it made them realize the same thing.

So I want to thank everyone that comes out to anything that I play, whether it be a church function, or at the Mod Club. It's you that can make an average event into a great one.
