Based on his success singing in Armstrong choirs, after a few years at BYU, Evan said he wanted to join BYU's choir. The lowest level choir doesn't require auditions, Evan follows the conductor well enough to stop singing when everyone else does, and he loves belting out notes, so it was worth a try.
The rehearsal room was in a theater in the HFAC, so I went with him to find the room. This wasn't a class he could just sit in the back - there were seating charts, sheet music, dress rehearsals, etc. What a tender mercy that as we walked through the lobby we ran into our cousin Mariah. She asked what we were up to and we explained. Then Mariah said, "I am one of the conductors of the choir!" What a blessing.
She took care of him, smoothed wrinkles, and the opportunity was amazing. We are so grateful to Mariah and for other people at BYU who helped enrich Evan's experience. He felt welcomed and he was able succeed.
Watch the performance here. He likes singing in concerts. He really likes seeing himself on the big screen.
