It's official

While the article I was interivewed for seems to have been put on the back burner, I'm pleased to say that the article on the Performing Arts Center was on the front page of The Brownsville Herald yesterday.

Reporting mostly on the techicalities it took to get the sound in the auditorium just right, the article also featured pictures from inside and outside, the choir on stage and also quotes from the acoustician who worked closely with the arcitects, some Fine Arts faculty, a student (who happens to be one of my best friends) and even the president of UTB, Dr. Juliet Garcia- all who shared the same excitement I had when I first entered the building.

When UTB-TSC Master Chorale member Ricardo Delgado, 20, walked into the new performance hall, he felt as he did when he performed at the Lila Cockrell Theater in San Antonio.

"When I walked in (the new center), that’s the exact feeling I got, that feeling of excitement and accomplishment . . . it is beautiful and it makes us feel worth more than what we thought," Delgado said.

Delgado was not disappointed after the Master Chorale tested the acoustics.

UTB-TSC’s Fine Arts Chair Dr. Sue Zanne Urbis is both a pianist and clarinetist.

Urbis found it hard to express "the sheer joy that I experienced the first time that I walked in. All I could imagine were all of my wonderful students on stage doing what they do best, which is to perform music."

The Performing Arts Center is to open its doors the first thing come 2010.
