This past Saturday, my choir, "The Salt Lake Symphonic Choir" joined "The Sterling Singers" for the first concert in the "Christmas on Temple Square Concert Series." They have all kinds of concerts going on at the tabernacle, and we got to be one of them!
Was great, I think we sounded good, but couldn't really tell, since from the stage, the acoustics don't really allow for...hearing yourself, it's weird. But, I heard that we sounded good from the audience's position. We sang some great songs like Mac Wilberg's "The First Nowell," which I LOVE, "Baby What You Goin' to Be," that my Mom loves (sorry you couldn't be there!), the "Hallelujah Chorus," "Some Children See Him," and "Come Thou Long Expected Savior" (Which is to the same tune as "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing")....to mention a few.
DON'T WORRY...if I didn't invite you, that's because we're doing pretty much the same concert on December 21st at the St. Thoma More Catholic church in Sandy, and that'll be JUST my choir...and I'm planning on inviting everyone to that one...let me know if you want to come!
My good friends Wendy and Michael came to this one, and said it was great, so there you have it...a good first review :) Thanks for coming you guys!!
P.S. This lovely picture above is of me with my good friend, Juliann, in our HIDEOUS...I mean, GORGEOUS choir garb... BOTH of ours had to be pinned in the back because the lady that sewed them made just look like whales--actually, Juliann, I'm sure you didn't look like a whale pre-pinning, but I sure did :) I need to go in this week and get mine altered. It was totally HUGE. I think she made me a "fat" person's top, rather than a "pregnant" person's top. That's what it was. Juliann and I REALLY would like to replace the ladies that have been on the choir dress committee for the past 30 years...It's time for a change, don't ya think?? Jordan summed it up perfectly--he said "You look like you're a guest on Oprah, but in the 60's." :) haha At least the flyer looked good (above)... yes, Juliann and I are on the marketing committee.

Oh I love it - a guest on the Oprah show from the 60s!! That is awesome!!! Oh, and I happily dropped my top off to my tailor today to be altered to FIT RIGHT.
You look so cute pregnant, if only I looked that good, maybe I would do it more often. Only one month to go, which by the way, I would have went to one of your many showers...but no invite =(
You should post a recording for us Oklahomians!
Jordan is hilarious! You guys look great--I bet you just SPARKLED up there with all the lights. I am sad I can't be there to see you...I love you. Don't go into labor at your concert hitting those high notes.

I so want IN on replacing the wardrobe ladies :) They really don't look that bad though! I'm so sad I missed the concert! Sounds like fun.
p.s. The flyer really does look nice. Did you design it? I'm a slacker and didn't join a committe :)
Thanks for inviting us!! We absolutely LOVED it!!
Yeah, thanks! I did design it. I'll have to send you the one for our Dec. 21 concert too...
at least from that picture I think the dresses look great, and I LOVE red, so I am totally biased :)
and DO invite us to the future concerts, minha filha, quero ver voce cantar :)
Janessa, congrats on your baby to come! That is so exciting. You look great in your choir garb -- at least they aren't the mumu dresses that the Mo Tab wears, right? Those dresses are a one size fits all. :) BTW, this is Johanna, formerly known as Sister Clement. Rebecca sent me her blog link.
