On Friday night, the cousins and I went to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square concert. Sarah plays the violin in the orchestra and we were able to get tickets from her. Gotta love having someone with an in. We even saw her on the big screen. She looked and sounded great!
"The concert continues an annual tradition of commemorating the arrival of the first Mormon pioneers in the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847. This year the theme of pioneering will be expanded to encompass the faith and sacrifice of servicemen and women." - www.lds.org
I have seen the choir live before, but I forgot how powerful they are to listen to. The music was amazing and I found myself tapping my foot to the patriotic songs throughout the night. Others felt they needed to feel the music in other ways. A man next to Elisa liked to hum along to most of the songs, the guy in front of me read the teleprompter and mouthed the words along with the singers, and the man behind us had a nose whistle that was distracting. Despite the extra "music", it was wonderful to attend the concert. Brian Stokes Mitchell and Linda Eder were the special guests that sang with the choir this year.

After the concert, we all went back to our house (along with Allison and her date) for pizzookies with a toppings bar and homemade ice cream. We may have even done a little Just Dance to end the night.
