A few months ago, in church, it was announced that the Mormon Tabernacle Choir would be doing a Central States Tour this Summer. Included would be the cities of Omaha, St. Louis, Denver, Norman and a few others. Glenn and I glanced at each other. We ALL just love listening to the choir! Yes, we all gather to watch Music And The Spoken Word.
So, yesterday afternoon, we went! Oh, I wish they would come visit each Summer!! We would be there. The boys were just amazed at the size and sound of this group of people (360+). We all enjoyed the versatility of the music they presented (songs of the land, hymns, theatre, etc.) There were piccolo, bagpipe, flute and organ solos. There were BYU Favorites (Betelehemu and Cindy-my favorite). The handbell choir did a few numbers too (Come, Thou Fount Of Every Blessing).
It was held at the Lloyd Noble Center in Norman OK - home to the Oklahoma Sooners (as in Boomer Sooners). Norman is straight North from our home, under 3 hours. Since the concert was at 7:30 and lasted till 10, we stayed at a fancy hotel and jumped on the beds and ate ice cream! We were able to visit one of the Norman Wards this morning and came home this afternoon. All Is Well! All Is Well!

Glad you got to go!!
What a BLAST!!! Listening in person really is SO DIFFERENT than on the CD! I couldn't believe the difference - it made me tear up.
They came to St. Louis but I didn't hear about it until the day after! :( Glad you guys got to go!!!
I was just reading about their midswest tour in the church news. AWESOME!!! Wish they came our way. Hope you're having a good summer
Sounds like a FUN family trip. Jumping on the bed?!? Eating ice cream?!? Your kids must think you're the best parents ever.
Awesome! So glad you could go and have such a fabulous time!
