My youngest child auditioned for a special singing group at our church and made it. I felt that he had a really nice voice. His father and I both encouraged him to try. He was kind of sheepish about it and almost didn't go. But at last he went and just yesterday he received a letter telling him that he made it into the group. But he was so excited about it, NOT, that he just sort of non-chalantly slips it into the conversation we were having. My daughter and I both stopped and asked him what he had just said. We thought he was joking. But he repeated his answer, still without much emotion.
A couple of his friends are also in the group. I think that will make it special for him. I'm glad he doesn't think that he's great and superior because he's in this group. The goal is not to think you're better than someone else. Just to enjoy the opportunity and priviledge of being in the ensemble. This will give him an opportunity to learn more about singing. I really hope that he can make in into one of the college tour groups when he goes to college. It pays for entire year of college. The flip side is you have to tour all summer. I don't know. Sounds like a deal to me.
