Over the past few months, people have been telling me that I have been a part of their Stake Conferences. Well, not just me. Really, some old Tabernacle Choir videos were played in their meetings. I just happened to be visible in some of those videos.
It sure would be nice to be able to sing with the Choir again. The current members of the Choir have that same wish, too! They wish the Tabernacle Choir was able to sing LIVE and IN PERSON again.

(See? There I am on the bottom row left of the
Soprano I section singing "Come Thou Fount.")

Being in the choir loft during General Conference was always so amazing. For those of you who watch for these kinds of things, the choir loft is always completely full for Conference. In fact, there are even a few who cannot fit, so they have to sit out for a session and rotate in during another. Either those people have had less than stellar attendance, or they are one of the newbies.
The outpouring of the Spirit is very moving during Conference. I was always so impressed that I could feel the presence of the Spirit from the time I entered the immense Conference Center early in the morning. We loved sharing the stand with our Apostles and Prophets, and Teachers and Leaders. And when we sang, I always felt that we had extra singers helping from beyond the veil. Perhaps my Grandma, Uncles and my Mom were there to sing when we were too overcome by the Spirit. (There were those times when I knew I wasn't singing. I was trying, but it was hard to sing through the tears!)

In the meantime, I guess General Conference Music will be provided again by videos of past performances of the Tabernacle Choir. My friends saw me during the last two Conferences. Who knows? Maybe, I will get to sing again in this weekend's Conference. (It's just not the same as being there in person!)
