I got to spend my evening on Saturday night listening to an a cappella group I used to sing in back in my days at York University. Wibijazz'n, or "Wibi" as it is more commonly referred to as, had their Christmas Concert over the weekend. They did an amazing job. They had great balance and a solid sound and a diverse selection of music ranging from pop to jazz to classical to world to the odd. A fantastic event that I was happy to go to. Earlier that morning, I was toying with the idea of not going; good thing I got out of that funk.
Anyway, I couldn't help but remember all the good times I had singing in Wibi. Whether it be learning a new chart or actually performing on stage, or even just hanging out with the group; every moment was amazing.
After the show, the other Wibi alumnists and I went over to a nearby restaurant and caught up, not knowing that the actual Wibijazz'n group was going to swing by after. It turned into a spontaneous "sing-along" where we all just started singing. It was pretty cool, especially when you haven't done it in a while.
Anyway, to sum up the evening:
"If the Wibi crew had twice as much fun performing as we did enjoy listening, then that means we had half the enjoyment of listening than they did performing."
Something to think about...
