Embedded Journalist Explores Mormon Tabernacle Choir

February 13, 2012 by Richard Allen Roe Leave a Comment

TEMPE, AZ — The Tabernacle Choir and 110 members of the Orchestra at Temple Square are getting ready to perform at US Airways Center in a signature event of the Arizona Centennial Celebration.

But right now is my highlight. I get to be Dan Rather. He invented the idea of a journalist being embedded in a war when he hid in the rebel camps with Afghans who were fighting and defeating the Soviet Army.

Today I am embedded in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Those are words I never thought I would write. Unlike war, it is one of the safest places on the planet. Surely the Lord has to be watching over such an inspirational event.

I am led to the tenors. 

Moments before someone asked me and three other guest choir members what part of the choir we should be placed with. The other three said baritone. I gave an honest answer: “I don’t sing.”
