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,

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
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!
