The first day of choir rehearsal is much like the first day of school when you were a kid – but without the bad parts. (Now that I think of it -- that makes it nothing like the first day of school). Wouldn’t it have been nice if, on the first day of school, you had already known:
- your teacher
- your classmates
- where your classroom and locker were
- what to expect for the day
That pretty much describes the comfortable environment that greeted returning choir members this evening. Even the new people had an easy time of it; there was none of the discomfort of being the new kid in class. They were warmly welcomed and made to feel a part of the group right from the start.
There was a big crowd tonight, consisting of 11 sopranos, 6 altos, 4 tenors, and 7 basses. Our director, Rick, led us through several pieces of music, some new and others familiar, the latter including Sunday’s anthem: “On Eagle’s Wings”.
