Thursday Update

We are having such an incredible week!  Our private lessons have been extremely helpful.  Every teacher has unique suggestions and we can HEAR the difference in our blend when we actually apply what they are teaching.  Now if only we can remember it all! 

Last night we sang "Days of Elijah" in the group showcase.  It is amazing how easily we revert back to our old habits.  There is just no way to implement all that we've learned at once.  We're going to set goals and try adding things one step at a time.  In spite of forgetting to breathe correctly for most of the song, it went really well and we had FUN! 

We've enjoyed private lessons with Mary Anne Oglesby, Brian Alvey, Jessica Harrison and John Rowsey.  John added some very cool arrangements to "Bigger than Any Mountain".  Can't wait to try it in a concert! 

Tribute Quartet sang tonight.  Brian Alvey is their new tenor singer and he is awesome!  We had so much fun in our lesson with him and he cheered us on when we sang last night. 

I just hate it that tomorrow is our last full day here.  We're looking forward to getting some good sleep when we get home, but this escape from our  "normal" life has been refreshing. 

Oh, and one last thing.  Cody would like me to inform you all that he actually WAS at Bible study the other night!  He makes his mama proud!
