Seven for the day God laid down his head

I'm back from an awsome weekend in SLC with the HHS Ladies Choir and the HHS Chamber Choir.

We stayed at the Hampton Inn and preformed in different places.
Here's kinda what we did:

Thursday:
Left HHS at 4 pm.. Bus... Bus... Bus... Singing on bus... arrived later that night and shared a room with Solveig, Krystal and Chrystal Barnes. We spent the evening playing Twister with Laura ^^

Friday:
The Chamber Choir preformed in the morning somewhere, but we had breakfast and then went with Chamber to Murray HS where we had a choir exchange. It was tons of fun, and we actually got to see their mens choir (HHS hasn't got one... yet). We had lunch at Burger King (we're still in America, remember?) and then went to the Primary Children's Medical Center to preform. It was beautiful and sad and almost everyone cried when Mr Morrise started crying. He had emotional attachment to that hospital and when we sung one of our slow christmas songs he started crying and thanked us for being so wonderful. I really like Mr Morrise, just like I like Rich. They are awsome teachers and I'm gonna miss them so incredibly much when I go back to Sweden.



Anyway, then we went to the Utah State Capitol Building where we got to sing just to hear the awsomeness of the echo in that building. I'll try to upload some of my vids of us singing there later :) It was truly amazing.

 

Back to the hotel to change into our performance attire. At about 5 pm we went to Temple Square (Mormon Headquaters of Utah, kinda) and we got to sing in the Assembly Hall. That was pretty amazing too, besides the fact that the Ladies choir didn't have time to sing our two last (and best) pieces.. We walked around some on Temple Square, because the lights are in every tree, on every branch, and it's pretty spiffy (as Solveig would say).

Back at the hotel we had a pizza party with both choirs and then I went with Solveig and Krystal to the Gateway's outdoors shopping mall (walked about 3-4 blocks in the cold. I was pretty miserable) to shop. I got a very nice grey hat and gloves and a preset for Veronica and Krystal bought me hot chocolate from Starbucks because I was so miserably cold. Once we got back to the hotel (around 9 pm) we found out that the ice skating place was just one block away from the Gateway. So back we went, to a beautiful little park with tons of lights in all colors. It was just like a movie from NY in christmas time, and ice skating was so much fun!! At 11 pm we realised that 11 was the time we were all supposed to be back in our rooms (no longer swimming in the hotel's pool or such)... Walking back, we just barely made it to our room before 11.30 pm (time when lights are supposed to be turned off). Tehee

 

Saturday:
Woke up and barely made it downstairs before breakfast closed down. Actually, I had to bring some back upstairs for Solveig because she missed it... At that time, it started to snow =D
We changed into performance attire and left the hotel (everyone's bags packed into the two guy-rooms) to go to the Family History Library where the Chamber Choir performed. Walking through Temple Square with a bunch of Hurricane People when it snows.. that's a pretty amazing experience ^^

 

The Ladies choir performed at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building - the founder of the mormon church - at Temple Square, and it was amazing with a big room just decorated with gold and christmas stuff.

 

Back at the hotel we got a chance to change into street clothes and then we set off on the bus - heading south.

We stopped in Provo for lunch/dinner at 4 pm (hadn't had anything since breakfast...) and had a great time with Laura, Rachel, Solveig and Krystal in their christmasy decorated mall where we even saw santa behind the long line of kids ^^

 
"It's Santa!!!"

We got back at HHS around 9 pm. I fell asleep the moment I got back to Apple Valley. Today, I have thousands of homeworkish things to do.

P.S. Some of our songs were...

Ladies Choir
Candlelight Carol
Do you hear what I hear?
Pat-a-pan
This little babe
Breath of Heaven
Brightest and Best
Children go where I send thee! (my favourite)

Chamber Choir
Carol of the Bells
Run run to Bethlehem
Some song in latin
Some song in spanish
In the bleak midvinter (soo beautiful)
Still still (aaaaaw)

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR A GREAT TRIP!!!!
