Fun Fact: I have three Olympic gold medals.
🥇 🥇🥇
Not from the Olympics you’d think about most readily, of course. But from… the Choir Olympics!
I suppose it seems funny that there is such a thing — a Choir Olympics. I picture choristers trying to sing while jumping hurdles. But in actuality, this was an incredible event with 350 choirs from around the world that competed in different styles of music on a world stage.
In 2004, in ways that shocked us — we weren’t expecting this at all — my collegiate choir won the Choir Olympics in in multiple categories in Bremen, Germany. Each time, we were called to the front of a stage in a large auditorium, and we watched the flag rise with the national anthem.
This is one of the best, most surprising, and most adventurous memories of my life.
Very grateful! 🥇🥇🥇
