Handel's Hallelujah Chorus, Sky View High School A Cappella Choir 1975
Both years I sang in the choir we performed two songs from Handel's Messiah, "The Hallelujah Chorus" and "For Unto Us a Child is Born." We also traveled to Salt Lake and sang at malls during Christmas, West Vally mall and Cottonwood Mall. One year we also sang on t.v.
We performed a couple special numbers our senior year. I don't have a program, but I remember we sang a vocal version of "The Night Before Christmas." It had a lot of small vocal parts. Leslie Wengreen sang one of these. We also sang a song, "Give a Little Something Special" which was an attempt get us to think about our gifts. We should put love in our gifts. I still have nightmares of this song, particularly with regards to giving toy guns to the kids.

Uintah Basin: Messiah Concerts
Watching the Uintah Basin orchestra and choir http://mmboebillywardle.blogspot.com/2013/12/uintah-basin-orchestra-and-choir.html
reminded me of my days in the Basin. I participated in a couple Messiah concerts during the years we lived in Roosevelt (Ballard). They were very fun, and introduced me to some songs we had never sung before, including "Surely". Dr. White always conducted, and we performed in the Roosevelt East Stake Center because they have a nice piped organ. We never sang with orchestra, but we did have trumpets for "The Last Trumpet." There would be solos every year, but I never had the courage to ask about singing a solo. They were fun experiences. I am a baritone, so the first year I sang bass. However because there were few tenors, the second year I sang tenor. There were four tenors, and we always followed another tenor. However he had a bad cold, and several of the songs had to drop out, so I was the tenor the others were following. Uncle Jerry sang tenor with us that year.
We made some beautiful music, and this reemphasized my love for Handel's Messiah.
