GOOOO TTEEEAAAMMM!

So for those of you that have never heard my Dad sing. your missing out! Cause I think he's amazing! I might be a little bias, but I love him!

He has tried out for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir! I don't know if any of you are familiar with this process, but.

First you have to send in a tape of you singing Acapella.

Second, (if you get a call back) you get to go to Salt Lake, and take a written test. And I guess it's the ACT test, of music tests.

Third, (if you get another call back) you get to come to Salt Lake again, and do a try out in front of Mack Wilberg and other faces of the choir.

Fourth, (if you get another call back) you have made it into the Chorale on Temple Square. You know have 12 weeks of mandatory practices/performances. With two of those a week. So yes, that's right, there are 24 mandatory practices/performances you have to be to. After you have proven your self there. you'll be promoted to MO TAB! (Mormon Tabernacle Choir)

My Dad has always dreamed of being in those seats and being a part of that group! I'm already so proud of him for even just sending in his tape! But right now, in this try-out processes, he is on that third step. He will be trying out, tomorrow afternoon (11-7) in front of Mack Wilberg and other associates! I'm so nervous for him, I even have butterflies!

I just wanted everyone to know just how much I love my Dad and how proud I am of him already!

and let's not forget. . . . GOOD LUCK!
