I attended the Fort Wayne Children's Choir spring concert this afternoon. My granddaughter has sung with the choir for five years now but this may have been her last performance with them. She's an excellent singer but will be going into high school in the fall and has to decide on her priorities. Tough choices.
The program today was really excellent. It was performed on the big stage at Auer Performance Hall at IPFW (sorry, PFW) and using this really large stage allowed them to present their program in a different way. In the past these programs have been structured in the typical way, with the youngest children performing first, usually a set of four songs, and then working up the age groups, with delays while one group left the stage and the next came on. Today, however, they used several different areas around and above the stage. While one group was performing in the tightly focused spotlight, other groups would be arranging themselves on the other side of the stage for the next song. They also mixed up the order in which the groups performed and it was very nice. The performance flowed smoothly from one song to the next without any down time. It really was beautifully done and I hope they continue with this new format. Good job, FWCC.
