Ooh, it is very evocative of a butterfly. Some of our roughest experiences turn out to be our finest.

Great pics! The orange really looks intensive in this setting!

Have ever be in a similar situations?
I'm so sorry to hear your performance didn't go as planned. Yes, I've also been in similar situations. We did a fund raiser last year, and were assured there was a cd player...only to find out there wasn't at the last minute. We ended up having to dance to Elvis. lol

I've danced in two churches. One Mormon and the other an evangelistic Church. It's really an honor that we're being asked to dance for Churches, I think. It shows that the art is respected and appreciated. You should pat yourself on the back for a job well done. From the looks of your photos, you were splendid.

The effect of the metallic orange against the background of golden light was astonishing! The priest who insisted on orange must've been an artist. Congratulations on dealing with a difficult situation. I'm sure your audience went away dazzled by the performance and will not even recall the technical difficulties.

In our job even if something is not ok the time of the performance we have to act like everything is ok.
It was my first performance in a church so i will always remember it and also it is a very beautiful church and you can see that from the pictures.
The next time it going to be better now that i know

Wow! the orange looks fabulous and you look like you did a fine job. What a shame about your music, thank goodness the priest had a guitar at least, but that would have been terribly nerve wracking not knowing what was coming next. Congratulations Alexandros. The church looks magnificent!.

wow the photos are amazing. The church looks magnificent.
Pity about your music troubles but at least you got to do some dancing - it would've been terrible if they couldn't find a solution and you had to go home having not danced.
