Celebration of Christmas
Last night was the first concert of BYU's 2018 Celebration of Christmas concert. Personally, I think this was the best Christmas concert I've been part of! Sister Hall said she felt the same way (which means a little more, since she's been at BYU for 20 years, haha).
Right after we sang the final song, a glorious arrangement of "The First Noel", the audience immediately rose in a standing ovation. I've never seen that happen in a concert before. Generally, you'll see a handful of people stand immediately. Then gradually, the others in the audience will join as they give into the peer-pressure. But this was like instantaneous leaping to feet throughout the whole crowd. As embarrassing as it is, I couldn't help but cry a little bit. This is my dream- to touch and change lives through music. Seeing that felt like I was fulfilling my life's purpose.
