A note from our executive director:
Ladies and gentlemen,
I give you the funniest Snowzilla meme to hit my Facebook feed, courtesy of one Chrissy Mead, steampunk soprano and all around wag.
Have to say, it seemed particularly hilarious when I first looked at it. You know, as the snow came down sideways Saturday afternoon. But there is a point here: Amid what Petula Dvorak of the Post called “confused snowfall estimates, regrettable junk-food decisions, an incubating October baby boom and a lingering sense of dread for many parents,” you can be sure some of us were going over our music, and eager for rehearsal this week. (Still questionable at the time of writing.)*
