On Thursday we went up to Salt Lake and had our first rehearsal that evening. The next day we had rehearsals all day. We had a couple hours for lunch and dinner but we spent the majority of the day practicing. Then on Saturday morning we packed our stuff into the suburban and went to Temple Square. We had a couple of hours until our final rehearsal so we went to watch the Joseph Smith movie and then walked around for a little bit. We had to be in line at 12:30 and then we were seated at 1:00. We practiced till 4:00 then had a break for dinner. We went to eat at the Olive Garden. We finished our dinner about half an hour before we had to be in out seats. The concert started at 7:30 and the choir from USU sang and then there was an Organ solo. Then we sang our songs. We sang Jubilate Deo by Mack Wilberg, Alleluia by Ralph Manuel, Laudate Nomen by Carlyle Sharp, Stars I Shall Find by David Dickau, Deamon Irrepit Callidus, by Gyorgy Orban, Cloudburts by Eric Whitacre, and He Never Failed Me Yet by Robert Ray. They were all fun pieces but I thin my most favorite was Cloudbust. I had a really fun time and enjoyed being on Temple Square on Saturday. It was a really great experience. And it was way fun to sing with that many people in the tabernacle. Our choir was about 680 people. It was so cool.
