choir drama!
Dec. 1st, 2013 05:02 amAhahahaha. So last year at my church there was Drama concerning the evening Christmas music, which happily was eventually resolved without my whole church hating me, yay.
This year, the factions concerning the evening Christmas program have decided not to make a fuss, which I was extremely happy about because it would make my life SO MUCH EASIER, you guys, which yay, because I have about five times more work at my job than I did last year at this time and I simply do not have TIME to babysit this year.
When will I learn? So, of course, yesterday the choir director and I received word that at the morning Christmas service, the choir has been asked to do only two songs. We usually do at least four, and the choir has been working on them for a month already, and I'd even scheduled in a couple more special musical numbers because we were worried four wasn't enough. Apparently there will be a half hour of speakers instead. The choir director is beside herself. I got to write a lot of emails yesterday saying various soothing and/or hopefully extremely diplomatic things to people. At least this is going to be resolved in the next week or so, so is unlikely to take up as much of my time as the stuff last year.
(I... have never ever been to a Christmas service, at any of the three denominations or countless different wards/congregations I have attended, that was not majority music. I must say that I think limiting the music like this is not a good idea. Even allowing for my strong pro-music bias.)
