After several hours of rehearsal over the past few weeks for the singers, instrumentalists and dancers we're ready to go. There are about a dozen singers from the Des Moines area, a couple from Omaha and a number of singers joing us from Decatur. We have a handful of dancers from the premiere production who are joining us and some of the singers (and one spouse) are helping to supplement some of the dance scenes (this author is NOT one of them!) For instrumentalists, we have the accordion player, "fiddler", guitarist and organist. One of the singers from Omaha will be playing the harmonica part.
We depart from Chicago this evening around 6:30. Several people from Des Moines are driving to Chicago but a handful of us are flying in this afternoon (please keep your fingers crossed that the weather cooperates for that). So we will all eventually be meeting up at our departure gate - hopefully anyway. We covet your thoughts and prayers for safe travels.
More later today hopefully as we get closer to departure.
Safe travels! My fingers are crossed for your Des Moines - Chicago connection :)
