Wow, there's a connection with the RTSO! We rehearse and mostly perform in an Episcopal Church - St. Clement's in Berkeley near the Claremont Hotel :). As it happens, I also got my musical start singing in an Episcopal choir as a kid in Madison Wisconsin. I liked the singing, but we didn't get much in the way of theory or actual training other than how to parade in and out, very small potatoes compared to your glorified experience. How many years did you endure all that? My relationship with the church business ended in Middle School.
Hi, Sara! I got myself kicked out of the choir after two or three years, then stayed at Cathedral School through the eighth grade. It was a drag to have to spend all those hours in rehearsal with the choir, but yeah, learning the fundamentals of theory and ear training was pretty great in retrospect.
Josh, I'm glad you survived the bus trips. And may all the non-existent gods bless the memory of your dear mother for her useful advice on that mantra (it's one I've successfully employed through the years).

Yeah? Well, I was the only atheist Jewish Communist kid in my whole school.
