Charlotte Symphony is doing Sleigh Ride at our concert this weekend... Terribly excited about that. The rest, not so much. O Holy Night with a girl who sounds like a lounge singer & a drumset backing her up. Bah! Also unintentionally hilarious: Mary's Boy Child. First of all, that should NEVER be a choral arrangement. Second, it should only be sung by someone with excellent jazz/gospel skills. On top of that, Maestro has decided he wants us to CLAP the last page. It must have escaped his attention that we are a choir of 147 whites, 1 Latina, and 2 blacks. We ain't got THAT kind of rhythm.
