What an amazing experience it was to play the piano for the P.E.O. International Convention in Des Moines, Iowa this past September.
The rehearsal with the choir of 275 women with Theresa Spencer was nothing short of heavenly. When the sisters started singing they sounded like angels. So much fun playing the Opening Ode while 6,000 P.E.O. ladies sang. Jean Couchie Burnquist, who sang “For Good” from Wicked, blew me away with her beautiful voice. Thanks to Sue Baker’s generosity, I was able to perform the Founders’ Medley as a prelude to Friday Business meeting and “Sister Eternal” as the meditation on Saturday morning.
It was just wonderful having my Chapter BL sisters, Gretchen Jolly and Carolyn Chapman to share this grand occasion. And a very special Thank you to my daughter and P.E.O. sister, Kelsi Kremer, who helped me sell Cds and sheet music and was just over all fantastic!
I loved being there and being a part of this wonderful experience with you Carolyn, Carolyn’s daughter from Michigan and Kelsi. It was a fun time by all.
Thanks Gretchen, it truly was a once in a lifetime event!
It sounds awesome! Way to go!
Thanks for all the support Cathy!
Jill,
Congratulations! You should be so proud – all of your hard work is being recognized and celebrated with the ladies of the P.E.O. Way to go, lady! It sounds like an experience that you will never forget. I hope you get all the recognition you deserve including more sales of your sheet music and recordings!!!
Thanks Laura,
Its been a long haul. And a lot of fun!
