Choir Festival

Last Friday, our Icelandic choir here in Copenhagen took on a trip to Gothenburg, Sweden to meet other Icelandic choirs from other Countries. After a 4 hour trip in a bus (some of us singing all the way...Irritating the hell out of the other passengers) we checked in a youth hostel in Gothenburg. The next day, we started rehearsing and rehearsed of and on for about 7 hours. I had not managed to get any sleep the night before so I was really tired. Drank a lot of coffee that day. The concert was at 5:00 pm and all in all were a great success. Even though we were missing tenors and I had to suddenly sing the tenor voice (I usually sing bass) in my choir, everything went according to plan. In the evening there was a big party for all the choirs. There was entertainment from all the choirs and me and two others from the Copenhagen choir did a little play about a drunk Icelandic person in Copenhagen. Great fun. After dinner and dancing some of us carried on into Gothenburg city center to check out the night live. I came back to the hostel around 6:00 in the morning...not leaving much time for sleeping before we had to check out.
We took the bus to Copenhagen around 3:00 pm and were back around dinner time. I managed to rest for 2 hours before going to work that night and believe me when I say it was a hard night! Well this is it for know...looking forward to having next weekend off so I can relax and get my strength back after a tough but really great trip. Until next time, chao amigos :)
