On April 29, 2017, I went with LACC
on a day trip to St. Mark Presbyterian Church in Newport Beach. The church was absolutely amazing (it was
totally built into the surroundings).
We had a clinic with a very nice
gentleman named Richard Messenger. He
taught us how to improve on our songs for the Spring Concert: Une Poule Blanche,
Marienwürmchen, Where Go the Boats, Fishing Song, Laugh Kookaburra,
and In These Delightful Pleasant Groves.
It was nice meeting Mr. Messenger.
We also performed in a mini concert. Three kids joined us to sing Amazing Day for Mrs. Rebecca Thompson. The three kids were Brigs, Brandon, and Alec. Alec just happened to be Mrs. Thompson’s grandson. When we were rehearsing, I learned how Mrs. Thompson composed Amazing Day. She was very sick one time when she was living on the east coast. Her husband took her to the hospital where some doctors performed an operation on her and she thought “what if this is my last day.” The next morning, she woke up. She tested her toes and fingers and they all worked, then suddenly the tune dropped into her mind. (You can listen to the song at: http://www.choristersguild.org/store/cga1439-amazing-day/6592/)
Finally we went to the beach and had a picnic. I chased waves, built a sand fort, and also observed sea anemones in the tide pool. I discovered their tentacles are sticky, which I didn’t realize in the Aquarium of the Pacific. Chasing waves made my clothes all wet, but laughed hard too. I can’t wait for the next day trip.
