This is Christmas concert weekend for me. I’m a member of the Cathedral Choral Society and for Christmas, we do three Christmas concerts – a short family concert on Saturday at noon, and full concerts on Saturday and Sunday at 4. It makes for a busy weekend. As I write this, it’s Sunday morning and my voice is absolutely shot and I’m exhausted. It’s amazing how tiring a weekend of singing is. But the concerts themselves are a lot of fun. This year, we’re doing a few songs with the Heritage Signature Chorale and they are absolutely amazing. I want to go to one of their concerts at some point, and I’m not usually a choir concert attendee. These guys are just that good.
It’s also fun to see all the families all dressed up for the holiday concerts. This concert is a tradition of sorts for a lot of families and I’m surprised that so many kids manage to sit through the entire thing. I guess there is a lot to look at around the Cathedral. And of course, being DC, we get a lot of big names at our concerts as well. Janet Napolitano was there yesterday. I hope she enjoyed it! It’s funny to see the Secret Service standing around at our concerts.

Hi! I’m a fellow Holidailies participant and a former CCS member. Glad to hear the concerts went well yesterday. I miss singing with the CCS. (But not the 28-mile drive to and from the Cathedral. That was killing me.) Good luck with today’s concert!
