I participated in the Stadium of Fire Choir this year and had a blast! I'm going to miss the practices and everyone that I became friends with. Our performances went smoothly and our conductor seemed quite pleased with all of us. I posted some video footage of the fireworks and our choir singing several patriotic music.
I was one of the lucky few whose name was drawn for a free ticket to last nights performance. Since Marc and Megan all ready had their tickets we decided to invite Jennifer. Megan and Jennifer were lucky enough to sit next to each other! Megan loves "The Jonas Brothers" - Their opening act was "She Daisy" ... All together it was truly a remarkable show. I know that I loved it.
Two last comments ... Friday nights dress rehearsal was with Glenn Beck. I was lucky enough to have him hand me his Aquafina water bottle to throw away in the trash can that was behind me! Of course, he asked first!
Last night, before our first singing performance began, Glenn was playing the part of "The Music Man" and he was in charge of leading in the American Fork HS Band ... while they played 76 Trombones. The choir too, marched in place and followed along singing. Before any of this took place though, Glenn walked a few steps towards myself and a couple of other women and began talking with us! He told us about a recent musical that he had taken his wife to and could have sworn when he agreed to be the host for this years "Stadium of Fire" he said 'absolutely not. I do not want to play the part of The Music Man!" Then he scratched his head and just shook his head. Then he says to all of us "Have fun, good luck" and puts his fist out and fist bumps my fist and the woman standing next to me! He's a true, down to earth patriot who loves his country. That is why I admire him so much. His conversion story is amazing, as well.
