A WOW Experience!

Last Wednesday night I took a jump, stepped out of my comfort zone and attended a choir rehearsal for a new choir that has started in South Davis County. I decided after much thought to go for it!

About a month back I received a Facebook invitation from Dr. Michael Huff. Now for those of you who know me, I don't do Facebook. I have no desire to join Facebook, just don't get it. So I cautiously opened the link and found out that Michael (as most of us know him) was going to be directing a new choir in the area. It was a non-audition LARGE choir, called Utah Voices. So, I debated back and forth over it. I don't sing like that on a regular basis anymore and know that I don't have the voice for it, but, after much deliberation I decided to GO FOR IT!!!!

Our first rehearsal was last Wednesday. We met in the Bountiful High School choir room and at first there was a modest showing. But people just kept coming and coming and... We exceeded the choir room. It was phenomenal! It is always fun when you can sing with a conductor who knows what they are doing and knows how to get you to do what they want as well. I came home and told Frank that it was even fun warming up.

Our first performance has been scheduled on December 5 at Libby Gardner Hall we will be doing Handel's Messiah with the Salt Lake Symphony. Apparently they are working on another performance and a sing-in as well.

I am glad that I took the jump, and I know that it will exceed all of my expectations!
