Today was our ward's Primary Presentation in Sacrament Meeting. It went very, very well and I was totally surprised at how reverent the children were. It was quieter during the Sacrament today than it usually is when the kids are with their parents. I got lots of comments on the kids' singing--most of them being that they sounded like a "choir of angels" and that they've "never heard children sing so well." Maybe it's because Mark plays the piano so loud the kids have learned to sing out loud. Maybe it's because I recruited a second chorister to help lead the songs during the program. It could have been the sing-o-meter in the back of the chapel that encouraged them to do their best. And it could be because I love being primary chorister and do a superb job teaching them. But really, I think it's because they are just dang good kids who are really talented and will do a great job at anything when given the opportunity to shine. Either way, they did a fantastic job and did us all proud.
Now without bragging too much I must say, Hunter was the star of the entire program. He made at least 5 women cry and several men came up to me afterwards, looking for Hunter, just so they could shake his hand. He did an outstanding job and I'm afraid he made me so proud my head's about to burst. For the "Love is Spoken Here" number, I tried to arrange for 2 boys and 2 girls to sing the 2 parts. Unfortunately, the boy who I was counting on to sing with Hunter decided he didn't want to do it. So, in a last minute crunch I decided to let Hunter do it solo and he nailed it, right on! We weren't allowed to record it during the program of course, but we captured it on video at home so you can all see. Look out Broadway Kids--here he comes!
