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

Hi friend! I've always thought you'd be great at facilitating. :)

That sounds like a hugely exciting and rewarding challenge! I'm so very proud of you for taking it on!

That's awesome! Song Selection is really rewarding but it can also be really rough. Congratulations.

This is so great!! I'm very happy for you that it went so well. The mistake-watcher is SUCH a great idea for that kind of situation.

It is crazy to me (I don't mean to call you crazy, because I understand and I do it too, so maybe I'm using you as a way to step outside myself and comment on my own behavior, too) that you don't see how much you fit in there. When we were talking about the intros before the Hult Center concert, I think I forgot to say, "but how awesome is it that out of 80 people they chose YOU to be one of 10 (or whatever), that they thought about it and thought about you and picked you?" And likewise for this - that they know you and they know your strengths (because you are so right, telling people their options is what you were born for) and they knew you could handle this gracefully. Accept the love that you are given! You are an integral and important part of that choir, lady, and everyone knows it but you. :)

P.S. Have lunch with me! Waffles!! At 11!! Text me!!

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
