I've been doing Honor Choir auditions for the past week. I've seen over 400 kids from around the state. 2.5 minutes of solo, 2.5 minutes of sight reading. I've heard Sento nel Core more times than I care to remember. On Thursday alone, I sat through 10 hours of auditions, 120 kids, with one hour for lunch and one hour for dinner. I love meeting and hearing all these ambitious young singers, for sure. It is a stressor for me and my family, too.
I remember Eph Ely conducting my first All-State as a singer. It was a pivotal moment for me. I also remember thinking how cool and glamorous it would be to be a conductor in that way. I can't say that this week has been all the glamorous. But, when we put these singers together in January for our big honor choir festival, I will be glad I did it.
Back next week with a real post.
