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.*

Holly, I was just looking at these same pics on your FB, lol! That's fun, something out of the everyday, and I hope your concert is a blast tonite.. I know you're gonna do great.. is anyone videotaping it? I wanna see your solo
Thanks Susie! I'm really excited. If you saw the other photos, then you probably saw pictures of my Dad, too. He's at the piano. I'm pretty sure the show will be videotaped, and as soon as someone posts it to YouTube, I'll post the link here :)
Thanks Zombie! Never expected to get support from a complete stranger, much less a mindless brain-eating one ;)
This was just an initiation time for you. You know about initiations, don't you? They make them really hard so that, even if you don't come out the way you expected (or projected), it's ok to say, HEY I TRIED, DIDN'T I? AT LEAST THAT'S SOMETHING!
:)
I'm cheering you onwards and forwards, Girl!
big hugs
Ramona
