Each of the PICCFEST choirs
was assigned to a different church to sing Sunday service. We went to Westminster
Presbyterian, where they had a new pipe organ (Marcia was thrilled!) and a very
appreciative congregation, who clapped after each song! The pastor mentioned
how the boys were doing a tour of the great churches of the world, with Westminster
Presbyterian, Eugene today, and San Marco in Venice next Sunday. We stumbled
across a new uniform, which we now call "slipshots": blue polo and
black pants with dress shoes.
After lunch there was some free time for the Gratitude Attitude wall or some
basketball. After a nice one-hour rest period, the boys played volleyball against
the Mississippi Girlchoir, which became a spectacle for the other choirs as
well. During the rest period and volleyball, the Music Staff attended a workshop
with Anton Armstrong, one of the foremost choral directors of this country who
teaches at St. Olaf College (where ian sings), Mrs. Snow, and Robert Jager,
who composed I Dream of Peace, the centerpiece of Monday's gala concert.
We recruited St. Louis at lunch and Mississippi at dinner to sufficienty embarrass
Daniel on his birthday. Josh the Elder's grandparents helped arrange a cake.
