Song Selection

[enchantingamber]

This last weekend was song selection, which our choir does everywhere as part of the process for picking our music for the season the following year. It's a pretty awesome process because it gives the members of the choir some say in what to sing and gives the directors some ideas about what we want as well. It's a one day process but we do it over

I like the non-song selection part of song selection but. . .

Every year I struggle with wanting to go to song selection and hating the process. I get really impatient with all the processing, and I rarely care about what we choose.

And I actually enjoyed parts of the process this year. I didn't want to run out, and I found three songs I wanted to sing, so I had at least three votes this year.

And that's good. You were funny and interesting and you did a great job allowing just enough processing so that people got what they needed without going overboard. You handled interruptions with poise and grace and humor.

You made song selection. . . [GASP!] fun.

And for the record - I have trouble figuring out where I fit in, too, and I get a great amount of anxiety over it.

The cool thing about you is that even if you do feel anxious, you'd never know it. You're such a great conversationalist. You know a lot of stuff, and you're always interesting and funny, even if you're only talking about mundane stuff.

And you can ask anyone who knows you if you don't believe me, but it's true. You're good company. And who doesn't need good company?
