Prima Vox Fire & Ice: before

We've tried just showing up a half hour before showtime, warming up and then singing. And while the results have never been disastrous, they've felt disconnected.

So the Voxes Three got together at 10:00 a.m. on the day of the Fire & Ice concert to begin the process of establishing their special Vox-mind-connection...

and to get manicures.

Even me, at the encouragement of Ann and Sara.
I can't remember the last time I had paint on my short little harpist nails.
It was kind of distracting when I played the first time.
But then I tend to be easily distracted by shiny things...

The day of the concert was filled with other important tasks, too. Of course, we warmed up, went through our music, got things organized and went over every detail we could think of.

We got the sanctuary of the Church of the Holy Communion set up

with three music stands, two harps, music, lights and candles.

The view from where we sang.

Then we started calling in the reinforcements:

ticket taking...

rides and reservations...

ushering and general Vox attending-to.

Thanks Vox crew!

We couldn't have gotten this all together without your help!
