Saturday Singers

i really don't know how i feel about our reentry to what used to be the forerunner group. we had rehearsal last night and karin is just so user-unfriendly. i stayed quiet while she bossed us into her demands for a midweek rehearsal the week before the saturday that we sing. mostly i was quiet because she bit off any one's head who asked her a clarifying question at all. jenny even remarked that she was afraid to ask any further questions. karin just kept emphasizing our need to be prepared. we'll still need to arrive an hour before the mass on saturday as well.

so, then after all this need to be prepared, we just ran though each of the songs one time. no going over any parts. it seemed more like she was practicing the piano and we were along for the ride. it wont really matter. george plays so loudly now with so many special effects no one will hear us anyway. george even uses the organ to create applause, so really, no one is necessary.

oh, well. abby participates very well, and seeing how she's at least been to mass weekly on wednesdays, she knew the songs better than i did. i will continue to show up for a while mostly for the other members of the group who did genuinely seem happy to see one another and for abby because she will be reluctant i know to participate later if she doesn't start now. also, it is something we can do together and she doesn't want to join girl scouts, or soccer or any other extra-curricular activity if i can't participate too.

do i sound ambivalent? i feel it.
