The tree lighting last night in Syracuse was beautiful. For whatever reason, the tree looked better than last year - maybe it was due to the snow (yay!). Saw Enchanted afterwards - loved it. If you go, check for the spoofs all the way through, including some not listed in imdb.com. I was on the floor, and want to go through the cast list for even the smaller roles to see who has a Disney cartoon credit. It's a definite keeper for the DVD collection!

Onward to two weeks of outreach work - both Pigs and Telephone, but first, the talent competition. It's always a treat to judge for David Blight. We're treated really well and work with some great people. I'm also grateful for some concert work in the month of December as well.

I'm learning a lot in the coachings with the new MD for Syracuse (Douglas Kinney Frost) It's like being back at Rising Star again. He's suggested some arias that have begun to crop up from others as well, so I've pulled them out and begun working on a couple. It'll be interesting to see where the journey goes from here.
