Day Three - Wednesday, November 30, 2005

The morning came very early after a late night of excitement and anticipation. The buses were loaded and we're now beginning the tour and headed for Long Island, New York where we will perform tonight at the Nassau Coliseum. A two o'clock rehearsal was scheduled so we could meet with Ms. Denyce Graves and rehearse her pieces with the entire ensemble. Her amazing voice and cordial demeanor made her a delight to work with.

The concert was a great success, and even though a few kinks in programming were still being worked out the lights and excitement of a first performance in a large arena was a thrilling experience.
