Chameleons "Winterrest" Performance Helps Raise Funds For New Orleans Work
As we've done now for over a dozen years running, the Chameleons performed at the Town of Chelmsford's Winterfest/Winterrest festivities at the First Parish UU Church on February 6, 2010. I've included photos taken by myself and Ariel of the event.
This year was especially rewarding, as our music helped the church volunteers raise almost $500 for the church youth to plan a trip to help with post-Katrina repairs in New Orleans.
Our new sound man, Ken Porter, did an incredible job. His equipment was unique--all speakers were mounted on a monopole behind us on stage. It allowed the performers to hear ourselves in exactly the same way our audience did.
As always, I'm a nervous wreck during these performances. But the rehearsals leading up to the show were certainly a lot of fun. I enjoy the comradeship with my steadfast friends.
