Soooo, since Christina isn’t posting, and since Paul suggested it, I am. Maybe once the new season starts, there will be more activity on this poor, lonely site.

Last week Christina and I chose to add our illustrious presence to a certain choir camp. That is to say… we were there. =) And we sang. And did all that fun, tiring choir stuff. I’ll upload a few pictures to Picasa just to post them in honor of the occasion!

And while I am waiting for those to upload… here are some funny/interesting quotes from our director, Mr. Baker!

“Singing is simply emotionalized speech.”
“She is a smart aleck, but she’s a good musician.”
“I didn’t say murder it, I said execute it!”
“Ben hur? Yeah, and Ben him, too!”
“Y’all excuse me while I have an internal fit.”
“Listen louder than you sing.”
“Basses!!!!”

So, this is Christina and my sister Emily at lunch. (I didn’t get so many pictures of us actually in rehearsal.)

Christina and her camera…

This is me singing and playing at break time! (You’d think I didn’t get doused in enough music for the week!) And someone’s little sister must have thought I was interesting. =) I was singing Loch Lomond, which, in my opinion, is an irresistible song! ;-)

Seeing friends at the concert was amazing, of course!

More familiar faces.

Overall, it was a lovely week! Singing + friends=<3.

    We had it at a church here in Austin this year. Next year… probably the same place, but no telling!

  4. PaulH says:

    Ah yes… Mr. Baker. :D I’ll have to remember that about the “internal fit”.

  5. GraceE says:

    That’s my favorite quote!! It was my Facebook status for a while. Lol..

    I actually forgot one: “If you sit on the front pew, you get the pulpit drippings!” -Mr. Baker

    I really wanted to go, but then you already know my track record for saying I’ll be some place and then end up not showing up… Yeah. Well, did I espie a few Lerma people? It’s been FOREVER since I’ve seen them.

    Anywho, sounds like y’all had fun!

  7. GraceE says:

    All the Lermas (excepting Aaron, of course) were there! It was amazing.. but we do tend to see them a lot. ;-)

    You should come next year. *nods*
