Our parish choir was rehearsing for Confirmation. Approximately 129 children from our parish, including my son, make it at the end of November. We are singing most of the same music as last year with a few changes. In case I haven’t mentioned it before, I sing tenor along with my friends Al and Nancy. Yes, Nancy is a woman. The sad part is that she is a better singer than both Al and I. I will be one of the cantors for the song that the children will sing. It is called “I Say Yes My Lord”. I am really looking forward to this. I will also be playing the drum set for some of the songs. It is one of the rare occasions that we use a drum set during a mass that is not just for teens. There will also be a couple of guitars, trumpets, flutes, piano/organ and maybe even a violin for the actual Confirmation service.
During the practice, I started my 10th noted twine Rosary. I will probably finish it tonight or tomorrow. I gave one of my completed Rosaries to the Aunt of our choir Director. It was navy blue with a silver crucifix. I hope she likes it. I am getting better at making them. I was actually singing while making the one tonight. If you want to know more about making Rosaries go to the Rosary Army website. I can’t begin to tell you how rewarding it is.

Is it common for woman to sing tenor? I always assumed they couldn't. Although baritones still rule! =p
I don't think it is common, but it is not the first I have heard of it. They usually sing alto or soprano.
