And then there are the times I am SO IMPRESSED

[cahn]

So to make up for the evening-Christmas-program DRAMA, the ward (congregation) choir has been spontaneously organizing sectionals. Spontaneously! I didn't even know about it until I sort of fell into one of the sectionals (through yet another music thing I was doing). There were ten people at the tenor sectional, y'all, which is basically everyone in the Christmas tenor section (by which I mean, Christmas gets people in choir who might not ordinarily come).

At least three other people, and counting, have told me they are coming to the much-more-hastily-organized alto sectional (I, uh, was shamed into emailing all the altos) on Saturday morning. Whcih is pretty much the entire alto section that doesn't have problems like, for example, being so physically unwell that they shouldn't be singing but do anyway, or looking after multiple sick kids.

I have neeeeever ever ever been in a choir (of more than five people) that spontaneously organized EXTRA REHEARSALS. This totally makes up for everything else. (Well, so far. Talk to me on the 24th and we will see whether I have survived that long. I can already tell my CAPS LOCK levels are getting dangerously high these days.)

Tiny iron fist! (I know, it's been commented on already. But still, squee.)

I firmly believe there is no one who hasn't sung the Hallelujah chorus in the shower. So from there, it's a small step to vocal perfection, right? I know all about this--I've watched Glee.

Congrats on your Christmas miracle. May this be the first of many small joys in the season.

Heeee! Yes, it's my husband D's term -- he thinks it's funny that I usually don't care about the details of, well, anything, except MUSIC, where I start getting All Opinionated!! :)

Thanks! The first hump of Christmas Drama is over. I have plans to mitigate the second (and hopefully last) hump; we shall see.
