I made it!

If you recall, I returned from Europe with a desire to join a semi-professional choir. I have since joined two--the first is a Single Adult choir through my church, open to anyone interested, performing Lex deAzevedo's Gloria in December. The second one was a bit harder. In August I auditioned for the Mormon Choir of Washington, D.C. I've been attending rehearsals, at their suggestion, every Thursday night since. And last night I found out for sure--I was accepted!! yay!

Of course this means I have to take a hiatus from the Thursday book club. I should be able to attend in January and next summer, though.

It also means that I have to find someone reliable on my Stake SA committee to run our potlucks a few times a year. That could prove to be very difficult.

But it also means that I can enjoy singing once more with a director who actually knows what he's doing. I can sing challenging music, and make friends, and go places and do things, and quite frankly I think it's going to be great.

Our first concert is October 18 at the Washington, D.C Temple Visitor's Center. Please come!! It's going to be fabulous!
