What, I'm in a Choir?

I joined a choir called EVMCO stands for Eastern Valley Mormon Coral Organization. I have to say I'm deeply overwhelmed for the opportunity to sing with such talent. I'm singing with people who have masters in vocal performance, who've sang professionally, and who have perfect pitch. Needless so say, I'm not any of those things. It's been awhile since I've had to audition for a choir, and I was happy it's wasn't too hard. The last time was in Boise when I sang in a soloing woman's choir where we all sang solos and 2 group numbers. At the audition I didn't know I was auditioning for a solo!! The first day of practice I was like, "WHAT! You want me to sing that alone!!!??" It was funny and they gave me the music; No backing out of it! This time I just sang a hymn and did scales so they could hear my range. I auditioned with 2 other girls and was happy to have the experience of singing solos so I wasn't so nervous. All of us that auditioned in my group made the choir.

We are singing a song in Latin and it's accapella, along with some traditional Christmas songs that have been rearranged by the directors. Sometimes at practice I just want to close my eyes and listen. The music is so beautiful!!

Our Christmas Concert is called 'Sing We all Noel' and it's December 1oth in Mesa at the Ikeda Performing Arts Center. Wish you all could come and hear the magical music!
