Alright, it's true! Now you know that I can play "When the Saints Go Marching In" on the trumpet. Thank you Tim for supplying me with the trumpet. See, with encouragement you also can teach your students to accomplish such "brassy" feats! Sarah Lake will be our technician on Wednesday. I'm looking forward to that.

The big question [I think] for today was: Can you sing all parts of a piece of choral music without the ultimate aid of the piano? Do you flat out know all of the parts? Or are you relying on your accompanist to do what you should be doing in score preparation before the rehearsal begins? Remember the words of Wilhelm Ehmann: "The choir must suffer the consequences of each sin of omission on the part of the director!"

I'm praying for you guys!

Doc
