An Emancipation Celebration

I am in a choir.  It's called the Sun Valley Hallelujah Chorus.  I got involved because my Dad plays piano for them.  I saw their Christmas concert, and it was so much fun, I decided I had to get involved.  We've been practicing since January for our concert, which is tonight!  It is a celebration of emancipation and black history.  We have a special guest performer, Ms. Yve Evans, who is a well-known black jazz soloist.  She is amazing and has made our final week of practices so enjoyable and entertaining.  I have a solo, and I'm really nervous.  It will be lots of fun though!  Here's a picture from our final rehearsal last night:

I'm in the upper right hand corner.  The girl with the

microphone is the daughter of our director,

practicing her lovely solo.*
