Choir Trip

I wish I had a photo!!!  The prince headed north to his annual district music festival.  Several choirs from around the state met and worked under a guest conductor.  The stories are many, but one of the best was this:

He packed his tux, shoes, socks, white undershirt.  Somehow he forgot the white tux button down shirt.  Oops.  An hour before the big concert he's getting dressed and realizes this.  No time to shop.  What to do? He improvised.  He had a couple of girls pull his white t-shirt up high.  He tied his tie around it.  Then he made two paper triangles (like the footballs we made in school when we were bored) and taped them to the collar of the t-shirt so it looked like a button-down collar!  He was sure he'd get busted by his choir director, but she didn't even notice.  Whew!  He admitted his error in class when they got back.  She just laughed.  Whew, again!  But I sure do wish I had a photo!!!

One more story:

They stay with kids from the host school.  He and 3 other boys from his choir stayed with a nice family.  When I checked in with him Monday night he said, "Yeah, they're nice.  They're Mormon.  But I'm going to prison for murder before this is over!"

"Why????"

"I'm going to kill one of my roommates.  I am staying with the 3 kids I dislike the most from my choir."

Ever the sympathetic mother, I replied, "It'll be good practice for college dorm life."

He didn't kill anyone though he did end up leaving the bedroom and sleeping in the living room because one of the kids was snoring so loudly.

"Louder than your dad," I asked?

"At least Dad's snoring is rhythmic."

I beg to differ...
