CHRISTMAS WITH THE MOTAB

I HAVEN'T BEEN TO A 
MORMON TABERNACLE CHOIR
CHRISTMAS CONCERT SINCE ANALEE
RETIRED FROM THE CHOIR.
SHE ALWAYS GAVE ME TICKETS.

I'VE BEEN TO THE FIRST PRESIDENCY
CHRISTMAS DEVOTIONAL AND
THE SUNDAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS
"MUSIC AND THE SPOKEN WORD" BROADCAST,
BUT NOT THE CHRISTMAS CONCERT.

I WOULD APPLY EVERY YEAR, AND WOULD
RECEIVE AN EMAIL THAT STARTED:
"WE'RE SORRY."
THIS YEAR, IT WAS FIRST COME FIRST SERVE.
WELL, SINCE I HAD TRIED SO MANY TIMES
(PLUS HAD TIX FOR PIONEER CONCERT)
I KNEW HOW IT WORKED.
I DID NOT HAVE TO READ EACH STEP,
CUZ I WAS A PRO AT IT.

I GOT THEM!!!
ON THE FIRST TRY!!!
AND, WITHIN 6 MINUTES, ALL 3 NIGHTS
OF THE CONCERT WERE "SOLD OUT!"
IT DIDN'T MATTER THAT WE WERE IN THE BALCONY,
WE WERE THERE!!!

I COULD ONLY GET 4 TICKETS.
I DECIDED TO TAKE JAYCIE, CAMRY, AND SHAY.

ONE MORE PIC OF CHOIR

SELFIE

THE BEST PART WAS THE 3 ORGANISTS.  THEY WERE
PROBABLY ALL IN THERE 70s-80s.
THEY STOOD BEHIND THE ORGAN BENCH, SIDE BY SIDE,
PLAYING TOGETHER.
THEN, THE MAN ON THE RIGHT WOULD ROTATE TO
THE LEFT, WHILE THE OTHERS MOVED RIGHTS.
THEY CONTINUED TO DO THIS!
AMAZING!!!

THANKS TO DON BECKSTRAND FOR TAKING
OUR GROUP PHOTOS.
