Dad, Kim, Kelsey, Debbie, Lew, and I all piled into Dad's truck around 3:45 P.M. to head to Windham. We went to see Joe conduct the 2013 Maine All-State Chorus.
Joe's brother was already at the venue and had three tickets for Kim. She believed that he would be waiting for her in the lobby. While she began to look for him, I went to the ticket table, obtained three additional tickets (thank you, Dad!), and got into line with Dad and Lew to wait for the doors to open.
The three of us passed the waiting Kim, Kelsey, and Debbie as the line began to move into the auditorium. There had been no sign of Joe's brother....
He happened to be in the auditorium waiting for Kim to call him, but unfortunately there was "NO SIGNAL" on our cell phones. (He had begun to wonder if anyone was using the three tickets!) All was well, though, as he and I ran into each other, and I brought the tickets out to where the gals were waiting.
It was a wonderful program. The chorus sang beautifully. Joe did a great job conducting, as is his normal fashion. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. And Joe had two curtain calls! Woohoo!
(Postscript: Joe did experience a "first" for him: A boy in the chorus passed out right after the second piece ended. He fell forward, landing flat on his face. He chipped a tooth -- Kim even noticed it flying out -- but he was otherwise okay.... White as a sheet, but okay!)
