The "in full gear" swing toward Competition stage is underway at WRS. Diligent care of our top ten pieces of the puzzle are being managed one piece at a time. Just in the way a jigsaw puzzle goes together, each singer is grabbing a piece and finding the right fit. Like a family or unit of friends sitting around the table, working together toward a finished picture, so is WRS putting together a picture of a solid competition performance. The goal of a finished puzzle of course is to find no missing pieces. That single color of purple that Tori Postma told us about as she coached us one stellar Saturday rehearsal, will find it's way into the completed puzzle. But it must first be picked up and fitted to its place. And so our puzzle pieces come out at each rehearsal. What do I need to make fit into the right place this week? Do I need to hold onto this piece until another piece comes together first? If I work on this skill first will it help someone else's puzzle piece find its home?
Why do we enjoy our crazy hobby of barbershop so much? Because we solve the puzzle together, enjoying the comraderie, enjoying the learning, enjoying the process, enjoying the picture of music in our lives.
