The choir performed admirably in West Virginia, and finally arrived back in B'ham about ten o'clock last night. I had such a great time on the way to and from WV and while there...walking around, looking for the rite aid, leaving a little bit of myself in that alley, it was all great. I had such a good time that today, since I didn't have something to do every minute of the day with somebody, i got really bored, and slightly depressed. Today kind of reminded me of my first year of college, something I wish to forget almost everything about. Anyway, I know this was kind of a downer blog and sorry about that....but it's sad because I had such an awesome time on the choir trip!

Early...
So, tomorrow Concert Choir leaves for West Virginia...yes, West Virginia. You're probably asking yourself why would ANYONE go there, and I did too for a while. But anyways, we are leaving to sing at the ACDA Regional Convention in Charleston, and I can't wait. However, the only drawback is that I have to get up about 345ish, in the AM! And yes, that time REALLY exists. Ohh yeah, I talked to God today and he said he needed a wake up call tomorrow, he usually sleeps till about 4...gotcha covered. So that is where I will be the next few days, and oh yeah, I CAN NOT WAIT TO BE A CHOIR DIRECTOR!

P.s. Props to Dr. Jordan for coming to listen/talk to us today. What a blessing and gift to our choir.

Baritone
Clay, unbelievably hilarious post on the "Gizoogle." I would pay good money to hear Copeland say that one time in my life. And on another note,
Choir beware. The strong and steady path of World Baritone Domination has begun. Under the orders of our incomparable leader, Dr. Copeland, (yes, he sang baritone in the "Messiah,") our colonization has commenced. First, it was the move from the back row to the third row. Then, it was a lateral move to the Western Hemisphere with New Baritoneland. Keith, Clay and I have firmly established ourselves on this side of the choir, even assimilating with some of the natives, (singing second tenor in places.) Yes, I know, diminishing ourselves by mixing with the commoners, but hey, even the angels mixed with the humans. I read it, in the Bible. So, rest of the choir, be forewarned. It is only a matter of time. It starts with a humming of your part and hearing the bass and baritone parts of the chord, then comes the mourning for our departed brethren Kevin, who though he is gone, his vibrato will always, ALWAYS be with us (Martin ;-) And then, pretty soon, you find yourself singing the fifth of every chord and being asked to show the second tenors how their part is REALLY supposed to sound. In closing, Baritonia (Martin, Evan, Chris, Jason and Luke) and New Baritoneland will be imposing their will on the rest of the choir, and you will be fortunate enough to take part in it. You're welcome.
