When I started conducting for a GALA Chorus and became the "face" of the organization...I had a "wake-up" call. Vain as I am, I realized that in the concerts the audience watches my behind and my love handles throughout the program....and the glowing faces of the chorus, of course.  I was mortified because I realized I was both the "face" and the "ass" of the organization.  So, I decided to make a change.  After much work, I started getting comments on how pleasant it was to watch me from behind by audience members.

I have undergone quite a health and fitness transformation.  I also "woke-up" after my father had quadruple bypass surgery and a stroke that left him unable to speak and paralyzed on the the right side of his body (he is recovering, moving and speaking again).  The pic of me in the tie was another wake up call. 

I write this because I want to help you.  I thought it was going to be so hard to lose the weight and work out...but it was actually easy because of the support group that I was a part of...all on line.  I would love to do the same with a group of Choral Directors.  I am a coach for BEACH BODY, which is the company that does P90X, Insanity, Body Beast and much more.  If you are interested in finding out more, shoot me an email at singingstephen@gmail.com.  What will your choir and audiences think when you come back from summer vacation with an amazing body and new lease on life???  We could start this group in two weeks and support and motivate each other through the process!  I look forward to hearing from you!!
