Nebraska and South Dakota

Saturday, March 17 & Sunday, March 18th

Hello friends, I hope you’ve all had a good weekend!  The Concert Choir sure has been busy touring through Nebraska yesterday and South Dakota today.  Our concerts are going well, though I find that it’s always a struggle to maintain one’s energy throughout our entire tour, especially when we have days with more than one concert plus lots of travel.  Regardless, we’re all having fun together making good music.  I’ve never been to Henderson, Neb. or Freeman, S.D. before, so I’ve really enjoyed getting to know the communities where some of my friends come from.

Going to school close to where I grew up, I have never really had the experience of missing my home and home community very much since I can just go back whenever I want to.  Not everyone can do that though, and it’s been nice to see my friends and fellow students get to go home to their families and friends and reconnect.  Perhaps someday, when I end up moving far from home, these sorts of reunions will have the same meaning for me.  Until then however, I can appreciate the joy my friends experience and maybe make some new friends as well.

I need to get some sleep, so look for more blog posts in the future from other members of the choir.
