Madrigal Feaste

This week finished up the Lone Peak High School choral department’s Madrigal Feaste for 2008.  Brian, as the President of the Chamber Choir, was heavily involved in the success of the event.  He also played the King, who acts as the Master of Ceremonies and stage manager.  He was doubly wired with his wireless microphone and a headset to listen to backstage directions from the choir teacher and the techies.  There is a meal served to about 200 people each of the 7 evenings, consisting of  green salad, chowder in a bread bowl, a chicken quarter, mashed potatoes, vegetables, a chocolate tart, and wassail.  The dinner is served by members of the A Cappella Choir, and the Chamber Choir is the Royal Court and the beggars, CC sings several songs, and sings a couple with the A Cappella members.  The Royal Court performs in a humorous play that was a spoof of Cinderella.  They did a great job and the beggars collected lots of coins thrown by the audience.  This is the major fund-raiser for the choral dept. each year and a major undertaking.  But the kids were up to the job!
