Sarah, WOW, that really sounds like a blast. How fun! Congratulations on the soprano bit above the octet. That is even more fun! Singing releases endorphins which of course act as a natural pain-killer. Singing that kind of harmony is heavenly.
I am delighted for you Sarah---it's great to hear such good news.
Sending songs your way!

Sarah, your post reminds me of something I just saw advertised last week ....
there will be special sing-along viewings of The Sound of Music at theaters in the US in a few weeks.
I can't imagine anything much more joyful than sitting with total strangers and singing My Favorite Things or Climb Every Mountain. Even if it is a bit off-key. LOL
There was a piece on Doctor Radio about the value of music in developing the personality of children. Singing in a choir or playing in a band makes us aware of others around us - we have to be attuned to them to make the music correctly. For children, this forces them out of the egocentric "me, me, me- its all about me" to being concerned about the good of the group.
I imagine the same thoughts hold true for adults. Thanks for sparking these ideas.... Lulu
Hi, Sarah. That sounds great! I'm so glad you have this outlet, and hope we all find something that brings us such joy.
Hugs,
