| Me, Shelle and Dee last night |
If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you would know that I was thinking about rejoining choir this year. Well, I did it and I have no regrets!! Last night was our last dress rehearsal before next weekend's concerts. They are going to be SO AMAZING! There are some really great songs, the venue is the best, the band is top notch, Christmas downtown is amazing, I love Crystal, Gail and Tim (the soloists), I could go on and on. But speaking of Gail, she is our retiring director and an absolute musical genius and beautiful human being. She is the main reason I rejoined the choir this year in particular. To sing under her is a joy, even when she sometimes yells at us. If she didn't set high expectations the choir would not be what it is. Since she is retiring at the end of the season, it was now or never to rejoin the choir.
Sixteen of my friends (that I know of) are coming to the concerts and I am thrilled. They are spread out over the three (soldout) concerts, so I will have people at every concert. I hope they see and hear the joy of singing together, how amazing our director is, how encouraging the lyrics are, what hope we have in this season and that they leave feeling uplifted and joyful. I know I will. I can't wait!
