Singing with Honor

While all state choir was a thing back when I was in high school, honor choir was not. Apparently, it is also a state-wide choir made up of high school age kids. Nathan was excited to be able to participate. He spent two Saturdays rehearsing and this evening the concert was held in the Tabernacle on Temple Square. Nathan was pretty jazzed about singing there. Rather than being a big mixed choir, honor choir was divided into a women’s choir and a men’s choir, although they did do one big combined number. I’m guessing that all state is for the mixed choirs and honor choir is for the separate men’s and women’s choirs. Anyway, Nathan enjoyed himself and got to sing a number he learned (and loved) for the district middle school honor choir several years back. He also got his first taste of working with the choir teacher for the new high school. The teacher was the accompanist and not the director, but Nathan was still able to develop a favorable impression and that is a good thing.

The kids did a great job. The audience (and the women’s choir in particular) were huge fans of the men’s choir numbers. My family and I took Kevin’s mom out to dinner for her birthday prior to the concert and ended up having a very enjoyable time. Nathan was able to spend some time singing with an entire choir full of people who really wanted to be there and that was super nice for him. So all in all, a great evening.
