Then Shall They Break Forth into Joy

Mounting a fireside is no easy task! First, we have to be sure everybody makes it onto the bus.

Vinton and Doug, our bus drivers

Then, because a choir, like an army, crawls on its stomach, everybody has to be fed.

The suitcases have to be schlepped into the building, along with tons and tons of sound equipment.

If we're lucky, there will be time for a little rest and relaxation.

There's always some last-minute trouble-shooting to be done . . .

. . . but Mr. Thornton has the knack of making us see it's all good.

Then it's time to tune the instruments and run the sound check.

All systems are go! The chaperones report to their stations. Sick bay! Clean-up! Programs!

Then shall their watchmen lift up their voice, and with the voice together shall they sing . . . Then shall they break forth into joy! (3 Nephi 20)
