Thread Name: BS: Share Your Peak Musical Experiences?
Subject: RE: BS: Share Your Peak Musical Experiences?
My musical high point occurred at the New Years Eve service at a youth event in Hendersonville, NC. The event (Winterlight) is for high school students, and happens every year right after Christmas. The closing service before the dance on New Years Eve is always exciting and emotional. I was in the small choir for the service, singing with two fine musicians, Fran McKendree and Sam Hensley. On the last few songs, the entire congregation of 200 people were standing in the pews and singing at the top of their lungs (not a usual occurrence in Episcopal churches, for the most part). I don't know how good it sounded, but it was just about as much fun as I've ever had.
