Yes, it has happened. I have officially become a nerd about something, and that would be. . .
CHOIR!!!!
I have been introduced to an AMAZING choral director/ music writer by the name of Eric Whitacre. He is so incredible. He did what's called a virtual choir where people submitted videos of themselves singing his song "Lux Aurumque," and he had them all put together into a choir. It was so cool! He's doing another one to his song "Sleep," which is a beautiful song. And guess what?? I'm going to do it! I'm going to record myself singing, and I'm going to submit it onto the thing, and I am going to be in Eric Whitacre's virtual choir. I'm am so excited! I'm going to put a link to his blog on my blog in case you're interested in checking him out.
Another thing that makes me a choir nerd: This year our school schedule has been changed to include an Intervention/Enrichment period, and almost everyday, I find myself in the choir room singing. It's so much fun, and it's such a stress reliever from school.
My newest ambition is actually to be in the choral program at BYU. I went to their choir showcase last week, and I was blown away by how amazing they are!
Well, my new found nerdiness was all I had to talk about. Love you all!
