The concert was held at the St. James Episcopalian Church. Beautiful church. My older sister was debating on whether or not to come to the concert she had been away for the weekend and was tired so she asked if Noah was soloing at all. I said no so that kind of made up her mind not to come. No problem so just Edwin and I and the kids head to the church.
If you've ever been to that church you know that you sit in these box type seats about 6 people can fit in a box. It's pretty cool. Anyway the concert was very good the singing was excellent. The ladies group sang the mens group sang the whole chorus sang. During the time when the whole choir was singing it was time for a song that had a solo in it for a baritone. The guy who was supposed to sing the part could not sing it that night do to a voice problem at the last minute. The choir director is saying all this to us all. Then he says so he's going to ask someone else to sing it on a whim. He wasn't sure who he was going to ask and he said that's what makes it exciting. So he's just kind of looking around at his students and then he says Noah would you like to sing the solo. And Noah boldly says "yes". Edwin and I looked at each and smiled in surprise. We didn't have time to get nervous for Noah. Noah sang the solo beautifully. It was the best I have heard him sing yet. I did record it with my camera. But it doesn't do it justice you would have had to have been there. After Noah was done singing the audience was very enthusiastic in there applause and the choir director said some very kind things about Noah. It was just a really beautiful moment. A wonderful blessing for Noah and for us.
