I have a bunch of old posts that I never actually, well, posted. So before the year ends out, there will be a slew of delightful pictures and stories that helped make the last four months as great as they were.... or maybe just show how I like to do lots of things!
It's been an interesting process being involved with the New Life Worship recording that happened a couple of months ago. I didn't realize that in the final, professional project, most of the vocals and instrumentals are re-recorded, and the ad-libs, and audience applause and reactions are among the only few things kept. This meant 9 1/2 hours spaced out over three nights for the choir to come in and record.
We all wore radio headsets tuned to a station which they played the music so we could sing along. We did full passes of unison on the melody, and then did just the section with parts. They even told us for the night of the actual recording that the "choir" wouldn't get picked up in the mics because those microphones were picking up the room noise... but here, it was all us!
I think I enjoy choir not because we actually act like a choir, or that we get many opportunities to learn our parts (cause we don't), but that it's a great community to be a part of within a large church structure. I may even continue to be involved after our required time is over, just to be with some really awesome people. Although I probably shouldn't go just cause there's a really cute guy there.... cause that's a lot of it....:o)
Sometimes when you find that you have candy corn in your bag...it leads to mischief and kodak moments! We had a good time, finally learned parts to the new songs, and know that our hard work will help the finished product be even more amazing!
