001 - 
I hope all y'all had a great Thanksgiving with family and friends new and old!  And, I hope your break has been as good as mine has been.

I've been practicing until it feels like my lips are going to get stuck in that position for forever, but I think it'll pay off when try outs come around and they're right around the corner!  I did, however, get sidetracked occasionally and found myself crying so much faith in us as a people reinforced!  I guess because it was so close to Thanksgiving, all these stories were surfacing - especially on Oprah!  Anyway, even if it made me cry, it was just really uplifting to read and/or hear them. I swear it had nothing to do with PMS!  I wish I could articulate just how much those stories got to me, but maybe it's better if I just share a few of the stories or at least links to them so you can feel good too.  Here are two: blind marching band boy and cheerleaders making a difference.

Don't forget our Winter Concert for Choir on Thursday!
