honor chor part 1

i just got home from 4 hours of singing. the rehearsal for this district honor choir started at 3:30 at AF high school, we sang until 5:30--actually, it ended up being 5:50 when we finished that rehearsal--then we ate dinner and at 7:30 we started rehearsing again. after dinner, we were able to have craig jessop direct us. he is an amazing amazing musician and teacher and person. oh wow. in the 2 hours that he worked with us, i learned so much about music and voice and choral performance. it was INCREDIBLE! its fun to get together with 200 students who are at the same level as we are and sing songs that we have been learning. and they are not easy songs either! most of my christmas break was spent listening to those dang songs and doing my best to memorize them. the performance is tomorrow at the provo tabernacle at 7:00 and i am super excited for it.
tomorrow will be a very long day of singing with rehearsal starting at 9am. i love doing stuff like this. its such an amazing experience, although a VERY exhausting one!

what an amazing director!
