once in royal David's city
DCfolk (and anyone else who may be in town next weekend):
This is to let you know that perseverance has paid off, and I am singing a solo in next weekend's Christmas concert. And a good one, as well - not "Once in Royal David's City", alas, because we're nothing like that traditional, but mine is in fact the first voice you'll hear, as I stand John-the-Baptist-like on the stage and the whole choir processes towards me. (My parents will flip; I'm not going to tell them, but they'll see my name by itself with "soprano" under it in the program and figure it out for themselves before they see or hear me.) Let me know if you'd like ticket information. ;-)

We are indeed just that traditional, and are thus opening with "Once in Royal David's City." As we process towards the soloist, who stands in front and sings the first verse alone. I'm sure that you would have sung it even better. :-)
