Very tiresome rehearsal. Not mentally; it was fairly engaging the whole time, unlike a lot of HSC rehearsals with Charles (though it was much more boring when Chrales was preparing us than when Kreger got there). It was the actual vocal effort that goes into doing B9 (or just the stupid really high parts) over and over. Kreger doesn't really get the choral stamina issue. But he was always friendly and tried to be helpful, which is not consistent with what I've heard from other sources. And apparently his name is Frank. What a poser.
