One of the most powerful memories I have so far in my time with the Boston Gay Men’s Chorus is my first rehearsal. At the end of the first rehearsal with new members, the new members are brought to the front of the room where our director usually stands. The new members are facing the… Continue reading New Members

First Concert Series
My first concert series with the Boston Gay Men’s Chorus is done. It was a lot of fun, and at the same time, I’m glad it’s over. It was a rough weekend because of the weather. We got close to a foot of snow in the Boston area, so that made for a bit of… Continue reading First Concert Series
Holly Folly
This weekend, the Boston Gay Men’s Chorus performed at Holly Folly in Provincetown, MA. I’d never been to P-town before, and it’s beautiful. They say it’s a great place in the summer, too. My friend Chris and I are going to spend a week there this summer. If our shows in P-town are any indication… Continue reading Holly Folly
Another Family Visit
It’s hard to believe, but I’m getting my third family visit in less than a year. My sister Darcie, Dave, her fiance, and Sarah are coming up for the BGMC concert on December 14. I’m very excited about this. This time, they won’t be staying at my house. Dave claims to like Reggie, but the… Continue reading Another Family Visit
What Matters
I talked to my sister last night. She, Dave (future brother-in-law), and Sarah are coming up for the BGMC concert in December. I was really hoping she could talk the parents into coming, too, but that’s not going to happen this year. My mom is a florist, and this is a peak season for her.… Continue reading What Matters
Retreat
I spent my weekend in Ogunquit, Maine with the rest of the Boston Gay Men’s Chorus. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun. We spent a lot of time together, which was a great way to meet people. Our Christmas concert is really going to be amazing. We’re doing a whole… Continue reading Retreat
Second Rehearsal
Last night was my second rehearsal with the Boston Gay Men’s Chorus. First, I had dinner with my “chorus buddy” who is like a mentor to help me get a feel for what I’m getting myself into. We ate at one of my favorite places in the south end, and we discovered that we have… Continue reading Second Rehearsal
Audition
I didn’t win the eBay auction, so I’ll not be going to San Francisco this weekend. That’s okay, though. Reggie and I will be going to the Salem Pug Meetup on Saturday morning. Today, I did something I’ve wanted to do for a few years but never had the guts to do. Until now. I… Continue reading Audition
