Oratorio Chorus Concert

Tuesday night was Todd's Oratorio Chorus concert. They were accompanied by the Seminary Orchestra and presented John Rutter's Te Deum, Gerald Finzi's Magnificat, and Gabriel Faure's Requiem. Of course they did an excellent job! The kids enjoyed seeing all the different instruments and Brandon enjoyed trying to follow along with the Latin words that were printed in the program (along with their English translation).
Before the concert I was talking with Bekah about it. She was asking about what instruments she would see and she asked how many people would be singing. I told her about some of the orchestra instruments and told her there might be about 50 people singing. Then she asked, "will they me movin' and groovin'?" I laughed and said, "no, not really." Then she said, "So, it won't be like Metallica?"
So, it was not at all like Metallica, but still good! Here are some pictures:


Todd is right in the middle beside the conductor's hand!


Here's a closer up shot! Yes, it's blurry, because I know nothing about how to use Todd's camera!

After the show!

We're all proud of Todd and all the hard work he put into this!! We even went out for dessert afterwards to celebrate!
