I can't post the picture - it won't let me.

http://chesapeakechoral.weebly.com/index.html

I'm in the top row, third from the right. All you can really see is a round potato. :(

(It's not just a lousy photo, it's a lousy site. I don't know who the webmaster is, but I wish we had the money to hire a real one.)

1. It's not such a bad picture, Bertha.
You all look like the kind of crowd I'd love to hang around with...cheerful, enjoying yourselves. And elegant, too.
It would be nice, however, if the three gentleman in the center of the back row hadn't had the tops of their heads cut off at the nose!
That might be more the fault of the layout artist than the photographer.
Choral singing is wonderful for the soul, isn't it?

3. The pic is fine.

But it would've probably been better if you were in the front row, so we can see you better! :) :hi:
Cool pic, though. You enjoy being apart of the chorus?

Very much. I'll be singing with another, too, as of this Tuesday. :)

Keep on singing!! There's a very good chorus that a few friends are apart of, the Connecticut Gay Men's Chorus. They do a few shows per year and then perform at select events. Very good. :) :hi:

6. I sang with the South Coast Chorale, a GLBT/friendly chorus,
for seven years. Some of the best memories of my life came out of that time. I last sang with them -- last sang at all, until now -- ten years ago. We were awesome. :)

10. as in "South Coast Plaza" -
that area of SoCal? Sigh, I miss the area a lot.

Glad you've enjoyed your chorus! It's a very nice photo, actually. :hi:

8. It would have been nice if they could have framed it better
so that they didn't chop off people's heads.

It also looks kind of fuzzy, as if either it wasn't fully in focus or else it's not a very hi resolution photo.

:(

I'm surprised that they would use that on their web site.

Let me guess, they didn't hire a professional photographer to take shots for the website, right?
