Check out one of the newest faces of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Most who follow my blog know my family but incase you don't, this is my sister Desiree' and she has an amazing voice. I am so proud of her and want to shout this great accomplishment from the rooftops! This is a pretty big deal for a lot of reasons...one of which is the fact that it is VERY hard to get into this famous choir. You can read more about the audition process here
Here are some more fun facts about the MOTAB:
The 360 members of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir represent men and women from many different backgrounds and professions and range in age from 25 to 60. They reflect a medley of unique lives and experiences and are brought together by their love for singing and their faith. Their incomparable voices are the common chord that unites to form the choral group known all over the world as the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
The Choir has appeared at 13 world's fairs and expositions, performed at the inaugurations of five U.S. presidents, and sung for numerous worldwide telecasts and special events.
Five of the Choir's recordings have achieved "gold record" and two have achieved "platinum record" status. The most popular was the Grammy-Award-winning 1959 release of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" with the Philadelphia Orchestra.
Desiree' this is such an amazing accomplishment. I am so proud of my big sister/twin (okay, so we're not twins... not really, but people have made that mistake before). Congratulations!

Awww.... I so was not anticipating this when checking your blog out. Thanks so much for the shout out. It means a lot. What would I do without you? Thanks so much for taking the beautiful headshots for my application by the way. They told me that was the clencher to me getting in. ;)
Thanks for the love and support!!! What would I do without my twin??? Love you!
Wow! That is so exciting! On my mission, one of my favorite assignments was to work "Tab Doors." As missionaries, we would simply stand outside the doors of the Tabernacle as the Choir would practice on Thus nights. When people would leave the practice, they would walk right up to us and ask to learn more about the church, request missionaries, want a Book of Mormon...etc- It was wonderful! The Choir is one of the most effective missionaries I know! Your sister is giong to bless and touch so many lives!
