I was a guest conductor at a church choir festival yesterday. I also sang as a “ringer” for the organizer’s choir. It was amazing how many people I knew from my travels in the south suburbs. The choirs sounded good and I conducted the massed numbers. I learned about a contemporary church choir composer I didn’t know, saw a few friends and laughed with some of my favorite local choir directors. But, I had fun as did the other participants. Singing together is always fun, no matter what level and with whom. I wish we could sing together more……..
