The Josh Groban people apparently liked working with the U of L choirs a year ago, cause they asked us to sing with him again at the end of last summer, as part of his latest tour. Instead of Louisville and Indianapolis, though, we'd be in Cincy this time around.
We never actually went into the city proper. The venue was on the river, some amphitheater place called Riverbend. We did the van caravan thing and drove in mid afternoon:
Went backstage to rehearse in this tent:
Then on stage:
Then had free time til the concert. Walked past the tour truck:
Later, my face got swapped with his, with fascinating results:
Had dinner at this horse track/casino place:
There were some restaurants in the casino proper, which meant under-21s couldn't eat there. This disappointingly meant momentarily splitting up the Grobenchor.
We reunited back at the theater. Got a bad photo of Josh performing from backstage:
Honestly you can't even see him.
Like last time, we got all of about 60 seconds with him. He literally came off stage, directly to us in the parking lot, snapped a picture, then kept walking right onto his bus, which immediately began driving off. So, y'know. Safe to say he'll remember all of us for years to come.
