A Rehearsal to Remember

Hi Chorus,

Sunday night's rehearsal was one for the books. I dare say it rivals the Halloween party for entertainment value! I'm so sorry a few of you had to miss it. Truly.

First, let me announce that I have uploaded new audio files for the following songs:

• Angels We Have Heard on High (too bad we didn't have a video of that one)
• Born Where the Shadows Lie
• Come, Shepherds, Come
• How Great Our Joy
• Listen!
• My Wish For You This Christmas
• O Holy Night
• Silent is the Night
• Sing We Now of Christmas

But wait, there's more. I also uploaded three files of Cory telling stories about his trip to Detroit, and a fourth file of him explaining what happened to his gum during "Angels We Have Heard on High," which still cracks me up!

But wait, there's still more. The basses won the Stunning Section Award and, I don't know what Jared fed that darned thing, but it has taken on a life of its own and has been seen in some very interesting situations. Fortunately, we can document this with pictures. Observe:

It started out innocently enough, with Jared, proud section leader, posing with the award.

Then things started getting a little weird. The award jumped down his shirt.

The award decided to play "Hide and Seek," and hid behind Harold.

But, the Stunning Section Award is fearless!

It wanted a chair of its own...

Or is it trying to give a talk?

Maybe it could fill in for Teresa, whose fingers caught fire.

Dan managed to hold it for a few minutes. He looks thrilled.

It also let Dave take a turn...

And Mark...I think it's getting a little too friendly with Mark.

And it's definitely too friendly with Paul! Should I be jealous?

Dan was thrilled when it returned to him!

Strangest of all, the award decided to get a dental checkup. No cavities!
