Easter in Longview




(TBC Chorale practicing for Easter weekend this past Thursday during spirit week)
I hope all of you musicians had a wonderful Easter! This holiday comes at a different time every year, sometimes in March and sometimes in April. I've learned over the years that the best way to be prepared for this important holiday is to sing songs about the Resurrection all year long! Just choose the best for Easter when it surprises you on the calendar, because that what it seems to do! Musicians need to be very comfortable with songs on special days.  I believe our people love hearing about the Resurrection 52 weeks a year. Easter music is about the gospel, salvation, and the victorious Christian life we can have every day. This past Sunday, by the grace of God, all of our music groups were able to sing their scheduled songs! Praise the Lord for these hard-working musicians, although exhausted from the big soul-winning weekend and early bus rides they filled their positions in singing groups, the choir, and orchestra. All of the glory goes to the Lord, but our LBT musicians sure are a blessing!!
