Grace Choir
I forgot to mention that the same gentleman who encouraged me to apply for the Grace job also asked me to join their choir for the rest of Advent season. They were very short on tenors, and even though I usually sing bass, I ended up agreeing to help them out. My first rehearsal Wednesday night was a lot of fun. Grace's organist/choir director (who is also an assistant professor of music at ULM), Dr Rick Seiler, is obviously perfect for the job. Yesterday morning was my second rehearsal, after which I sang with the choir during the main morning eucharist.
I have committed to singing with them through the next two weeks or so, which will include a late Christmas Eve service, but I can already tell it will that be tempting to stick around longer. A big negative: I can't sing with Grace's choir and go to Auburn's morning service. A superficial positive: Grace's choir vestments, a black cassock and a surplice. (And on that note, I just learned about an upcoming super hero costume party that some friends are hosting; Hollie said that if I wore just the cassock, I could pull off a Matrix character or some such super hero.)
