I was in the
choir all through junior high and high school.
In college, I was in the choir for three semesters.
I loved
being in choir from the start, but the most memorable moment happened in
college. The choir was told that Other
Side Real was recording an album and needed some of us to volunteer to sing on
one of the songs. Realizing that this
was likely the only opportunity we would have to do something like this, Ashley and I decided that we had to be involved.
We met five
or six other choir members and Kyle, the lead vocalist of Other Side Real, in
the choir room and rehearsed one afternoon.
The following Saturday, we all met at a recording studio downtown and
recorded our part of the song “Hold Our Children.”
When the CD
was complete, I made sure to get a copy.
And every so often, I listen to the song again to remind myself of the
time I got to be on an album.
I tried to find a place you could listen
to the song online; unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything. You’ll just have to imagine how amazing it
sounded.
