Hockey Boy sings!

Last year Hockey Boy needed to take a class to fulfill a Fine Arts credit. I talked him into taking choir by telling him that it wouldn't involve homework (kind of like how my mother talked me into being a math major by saying I wouldn't ever have to write a paper - which was true until I hit the thesis for my Masters!). I also told Hockey Boy about how his Daddyman and I both enjoyed singing in choir when we were in high school, a notion Hockey Boy found entirely perplexing.

As the year wore on, though, Hockey Boy seemed not to mind choir too much. At the spring concert, his choir wore jams, Hawaiian shirts and sunglasses and sang and *surfed* to a Beach Boys medley. I turned to Robert during the show and said, "If I didn't know better, I'd say Hockey Boy is enjoying himself up there."

Lo and behold, at the end of the year he announced his intention to try out for his school's elite show choir and he made it!

His choir sang the National Anthem before the football game Friday night, and it was beautiful.

Tuesday night was their fall concert which was also very enjoyable. Ever the versatile guy, Hockey Boy did a quick change out of his tuxedo and hightailed it to a suburban hockey rink for a late game (which sadly was not quite as successful as the concert).
