The world pays attention
Yesterday we had the dress rehearsal in the Imagine High Theatre. As the early morning unfolds, it's like the phoenix rising from the ashes. Figuring out where everything and everyone is going to go--the 60+ students, the drums, the keyboards, the electric guitars, the bass, the djembe, the choral core singers, the introducers, the slide show, the cajons, Good Medicine Songs folks...etc, etc, etc. Everything is being done for the first time. Yet order emerges as the morning goes on.
The media world is paying some attention. APTN was there filming the dress rehearsal. Katie Hyslop is publishing an article in The Tyee on Wednesday. Shaw Multicultural will be filming the concert tomorrow. The Chilliwack Progress ran an article. This feels right and good.
This media attention has come about in large part because the recycling sponsors, Tire Stewardship BC (recycles used tires) and Interchange Recycling (recycles used oil and antifreeze) put their communications person on to getting the word out. And there will be post-concert followup media because the University of the Fraser Valley is supporting a series of videos about the project.
Tomorrow is lift off!
