I am now the Ward Choir Director! It's a calling that I've always secretly wanted, but never had. I love singing, I took a conducting class in college (for my music minor), and I had some experience running choir practices a few times in high school. I'm really looking forward to it!
My first goal is going to be recruiting. We have some talented singers in our ward who don't make it to choir on a regular basis, and I hope that will change. I know that part of the difficulty is that our church is at 1:00 and we've been holding our choir rehearsals at noon, which leaves no time for lunch! I'm open to suggestions if anyone has any. Maybe I should have us practice earlier, like 10 - 11?
But I'm definately going to have to find a way to get more people to come. Because for the past month or two I've been the lone alto. And now that I'm going to be conducting, it definately poses a problem...
Well, it's a challenge I'm looking forward to undertaking!

So that was the mystery calling you were alluding to! Having practice earlier in the day might be better because then parents can go home and feed and get their kids ready for church. I know you'll do great as the ward choir director!
