Choir Concert

This evening we all attended a choir concert for Blythe at Timpview. Kent and I went to listen and Brandt went to do sound. The Centennial choirs each performed, then performed with one of the Timpview choirs. It was wonderful to see so many young people singing and making beautiful music. Many of the songs were religious in subject matter which was surprisingly refreshing. Blythe’s choir did a fantastic job. They sang "The Silver Apples of the Moon," "I Did Not Die," and "I'm Goin' Up a Yonder." Then, with Sorelle Voce, the girls choir at Timpview, they sang "Johnny Said 'No!'"  Blythe said she was bugged that at the end of the "Johnny Said, 'No'" piece, someone convinced Mrs. Williams that they should say “Johnny said ‘Yes,’” when that went against the very title of the piece. At the end, all the choirs sang together, performing “Come Thou Fount” accompanied by the organ. It was glorious! They all sang so beautifully and made me cry. Brandt, too. It was a terrific concert.

At the end of the show, Blythe met Brandt at the back of the auditorium and he showed her around the tech spaces. He showed her all the sound equipment, took her up to the light room, and then took her backstage to see all the inner workings. Kent and I watched them on the stage, Brandt being the good big brother and showing Blythe all the things, including his friends. It was a nice way to end the evening.
