Getting into the zone...

Hi everyone,
Well, we compete tomorrow morning. We have to be at the hall at 7:30 am for a sound check...ugh. Then we've got rehearsal from 8-10 and the competition around 11:30. So, we're taking it easy today. I don't think any of us slept well last night. Jet lag may be catching up with, plus it was hot and noisy in the dorm. Several other choirs arrived yesterday -- I've spoken with people from Japan, the Philippines, and Sweden. Competition for the showers will be as fierce as the singing competition, I suspect!

We rehearsed for a couple of hours this morning, but we are chilling out this afternoon. I think naps are in the cards for many of us. The opening ceremony and concert are tonight. Today's rehearsal was great, so I think will go into the competition feeling good. We'll get the results of the first round tomorrow evening, so one of us will post as soon as we know whether or not we're going on to the finals on Friday.

In other news, we've found a nice outdoor spot for drinks at night -- nicknamed it the Duke of Debrecen! Great spot to gather and visit at the end of the day.

Weather continues to be stellar. Hot, but not too hot, and not humid at all.

Keep your fingers crossed for us tomorrow! More news soon...
