I went to a day of fun at MUSICalifornia yesterday. This conference is the Grand papa of all choral music conferences in this country. Well over a thousand music ministers come every year, as well as all of the biggest publishers with all of their product to sell.
The main reason I go is to see the premieres. Yesterday was fantastic for that! We saw the BEST kids musical ever (Clydesdale, of course) and also saw the musical (Clydesdale, of course) that we are doing for July 4th–Our Flag Was Still There. It was great! Not only a great use of time, but a really fun day to go, because David T. (can you guess) Clydesdale was there…his reading session was a hoot!!! I picked 4 songs and went right down to order them…why is his music so great? Why does everything he writes stand tall above the rest???? I don’t know!!!!! Although, I think his two teenage daughters, and the fact that he lives in So. Cal. keeps him in touch with coolness and hipness…his music is the only stuff that is REALLY usable most of the time…I think one day of MUSICalifornia is enough. 5 days would be killer…most of the time it is just SO pretentious there with everyone…”How big is your choir?” “O my choir has 10,000 people now, how big is yours” “We’re running about 14 million in our choir…” it’s just ridiculous…Although I’m definately going back to Doc’s choral music seminar and the concert for Cal Baptist University Choir and Orchestra on Friday. I’m not switching my school loyalty or anything…it’s just fun to listen to (and sing). I hope some choir people from my church will go experience the concert on Friday night, if at all possible!!!
I’m excited!!

Cal Baptist? I’m shocked!! Say hi to the other traitors who transferred over there for me, will ya?
No time to chat, just stopped by to read. TTFN.
They may have more members in “THEIR” choir, but all they can do is do is sing. With “OUR” choir WE have an awsome leader who taught us to come to the throne of GOD and take others with us!!!! Thats why we love you so much! More than teaching us how to sing… YOU my friend have taught us how to worship!!!!! I don’t know about anyone else , but for me I choose JESUS!!! And I am soooo very thankful for having such a mighty man of God as a leader…Some one who NERVER points to himself but ALWAYS to our Lord and Saviour…..which to you think is more importent? And if the other guys say anything……. just let us know and they will be laying on the ground next to that camera man of yours!!!!!(just kidding) YOU THE MAN!!!!! and 10,000,000,000 eProps for you!
That’s a lot of eprops.
I give him 10,000,000,001 eprops.
I guess your friends have you covered on eProps, so I’ll only give you two.
The reason Clydesdale’s music “stands tall above the rest” is because he puts so many stinkin’ key changes in his music. (-:
And about choir bragging, I say that any choir that is focused on their numbers is completely missing the point. I’d take 12 good singers with wonderful attitudes over 100 average singers with average attitudes.
you’re such a bonnerite. seriously. if you want to go to cal baptist just go there. geez. on another note, yeah i guess loren probably wouldn’t work at your church, but no he didn’t tell me to write that. i was just really impressed with his concert.
