A Day of Performances!

It is 1:26am in Shaoxing, China.

I’m positively sure that every one of my SingCinnati friends are asleep, and catching up on some much-needed rest.

Today, we performed our second and final competition: the Pop Category. What was SO exciting for us was to see in the audience the “Cincinnati gang” – our dedicated supporters from the Cincinnati Convention and Visitors Bureau! They were waving their American flags and chanting “U.S.A! U.S.A!”, much to our delight. It certainly took all nerves away! (THANK YOU!)

We work hard. We play hard. Sunday afternoon was shopping day for us! (Be sure to ask your SingCinnati friend or family member what goodies they brought home for you.)

The evening saw us finally realizing all the hard work we’ve invested in learning the repertoire and choreography for the ‘big show’ that was The American Dream, produced by the Moening Presentation Group. Amidst a cast of talented singers/dancers, as well as aerial acrobats, gymnasts and JUMBOTRONS displaying scenes depicting the history of American music, SingCinnati was front and center for the impressive multimedia performance! As they say: the crowds went wild!

Chinese children were invited to sit close to the performance stage and up front, and they made for a very enthusiastic audience!

Our performance was also graced by special guests. Dennis Sweeney, a Cincinnatian himself, lives in China – and made a 24-hour trek on a train to the World Choir Games just so he could attend SingCinnati’s performances at the competitions this weekend, and the American Dream performance! Mr & Mrs Sweeney, thank you for your support!

What now, you ask?

Well, it’s the Awards Ceremony in the morning. And you’ll have to come visit our website again to find out how we did!
