This past Wednesday, I was called into the choir director's office with one of my friends who has been in the Master Chorale for about two years. Right away, Mrs. Brumley introduced us to a journalist from The Brownsville Herald. I was instantly nervous.
He explained that he would like some comments on our upcoming concert, a perspective from a veteran and a new member. I'd never been interviewed for something this "serious", if that's the right word. I've been asked a question for the my high school's newspaper but my quote was never used. This, however, was much different. Not only being new to to interviewee role but knowing my words will probably end up inside The Herald, I didn't want to reflect anything but positive opinions on an organization I hold so dearly but also one that is vastly underrated.
The journalist asked us a few questions, ones about the pieces we're to perform as well as one big, meaty question: "What do you hope people take away from the concert?"
I think my friend said it best: "Because we're so far down south doesn't mean anything. We're just as good as any other 'prestigious' college choir."
