TCATS #260 - End of Year #5

With the ending of 2018, my year #5 in the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square comes to a close. Year five is significant only because it's technically fulfilling the minimum requirement agreed upon when joining the choir. People often ask me how long I plan to stay in the choir and I'm never exactly sure what to say to that question. For now though, I plan to continue this journey as I still feel like I have things to contribute, experiences to go through, and people to influence (and be influenced by). So...on to 2019!

My blog post last week captured some interesting choir "stats" for 2018 and if that's something you might find interesting, you can click HERE to view those. In that post, I mentioned that Siope (fellow choir member) would be publishing his annual infographic, and sure enough, he did so today. Here's how it looks. Thanks Siope for the great job you always do in capturing the events of each year! (click to enlarge)

For some additional stats and tidbits, including how many songs we sung, the most worn tie, the most sung song, etc., click HERE.

With that, I just want to say again how grateful I am for the experiences I've had this year in the choir. Words seem to fail me when trying to adequately express all of my feelings and thoughts about this past year. But suffice it to say, I'm just very grateful. Grateful for the music, the people, the experiences, the opportunities, and the love I feel when singing. And I'm thankful for a very supportive wife and for my five kids who support me week in and week out. 

Until next time, God be with you.
