Concert Time :0)

So...I, Khadijah Bermiss, had a bit of a toolish moment a few days ago.

Louisa and I were standing in the loft and we heard a friend of ours listening to his concert parts upstairs because he was practicing for our upcoming Gospel Choir concert. I then looked into my best friend eyes with tearful eyes of mine own (not.) and said "awwww...Louisa...it's concert time...::sigh::".

Believe it or not, that was a 99.9% accurate portrayal of what happened. (the .1% goes to the "tearful eyes of mine own").

Back to the reason for this blog. I realized that concert time is almost like Christmas time for me. After many nights in the studio and in rehearsal and semi-rewriting portions of songs, God is going to give us a gift which will be a wonderful concert. Unto us a child is boooorn! (Handel's Messiah reference)

This concert is going to be awesome and all the alums are coming back and we are emailing about concert attire and we are asking the Hopkins Center why they haven't posted our posters yet (another story..ugh), and all of that jazzzz. It's the most wonderful tiiime of the yearrrr.

It just makes me so giddy. There's nothing like our gospel choir concerts. It is an emotional and spiritual high that takes about a day to come down from. So...I picture this time of the fall season as the equivalent of my mom going to buy the Christmas tree, my brothers making their plans to come home, Charlie Brown's Christmas episode as well as the cartoon version of the Grinch on TV, Macy's Christmas commercials and good ole Christmas cheer in the air...

this is going to be an awesome concert. I can't say that enough.

so......

SHAMELESS PLUG!!!! If you're in or around the Dartmouth College area on November 8th, please come and see the Gospel Choir concert in Spaulding Auditorium. Showtimes: 2PM & 5PM. I guarantee you will walk out a different and more positive person. AMEN!
