A memorable weekend that brought out the best in everyone...

The true test of any organization is how it comes together during difficult times. Yesterday was a great example of just that. The way in which our singers and support staff rallied together is a testament to the very positive spirit that exists within GMCW. Despite the huge amount of snow, metro shutdowns, icy roads, and more mounds of snow, almost all of our members were able to dig themselves out and get to the theater for both of our Sunday shows. There were many Chorus members who traveled out of their way to pick up others so they could be with us. Several members who live quite a distance from metro DC stayed with other GMCW members after our Friday night performance, even though we didn't know if we would have a second or third show. Their dedication warms my heart.

We are very grateful to our wonderfully faithful audiences who came in droves to see us on Friday night, Sunday afternoon, and Sunday evening.

The holiday spirit was truly in the air all weekend.

Wishing you a lovely, safe, holiday season and a wonderful 2010!
