Cloud 9

Hi folks!

We're back from the Area 2 contest with terrific news to share.  Not only did the chorus Cloud 9 represents, New England Voices in Harmony, earn first place, but NEVIH quartets earned the top three placements in the quartet contest!  Cloud 9 was extremely proud and honored to share the stage with our friends and singing sisters.  As winners of the Novice Quartet Award, we will be joining our compatriots in song on the international stage in Providence, RI this November. 

The next six months will be chock full of hard work, good times, and many improvements for everyone.  Cloud 9 will be doing our fair share, but for the immediate present we can tell you we met every goal we set for ourselves this weekend--both as a quartet and as members of NEVIH.  We are proud of our achievements, and are savoring the sweet, ephemeral taste of success.  It won't be long at all before we're back at work--barely a breath. 

We accomplished our goal of a great debut because we're supported by some pretty great people.  Thanks to our coaches, our quartets, our family, friends and chorus for urging us onward.  Thanks to those who inspire us, who lend us courage, and who assured Kate and I that, no, we weren't going to fall, choke, throw-up, cry (unintentionally), or otherwise do something horrible our first time on stage singing for several hundred people. 

Keep your eyes on the Clouds, folks.  We'll be seeing you again very soon!

Much love,

Jennifer
