Travel & Concert: Day 2 | 2022
Corey Miller chronicles our second day of tour.
Travel & First Concert: Day 1 | 2022
The first hour is filled with a theological debate among the men, excited children exploring the bus, and a few nerves about giving our first program. After a safe travel day, we arrived at Living Water Mennonite Church for a few hours of setup and practice. Following our haystack supper, we met as a… Continue reading Travel & First Concert: Day 1 | 2022
Pre-tour Rehearsal: Day 2 | 2022
The second day of pre-tour rehearsal is in the books. The weather in the morning was cool and refreshing and a brisk walk to the rehearsal spot got me energized and ready for a full day of singing. I was also on the verge of being late so that helped wake me up as well.… Continue reading Pre-tour Rehearsal: Day 2 | 2022
Pre-tour Rehearsal: Day 1 | 2022
Day one of practice is complete. During this time and the days leading up to it, I always find myself contemplating why on earth I sign myself up for this kind of thing.

We had… Continue reading 2021 | Tour Day 7

Perhaps you wonder if singing the same 15 songs becomes old after a week on tour. I believe any musician would tell you… Continue reading 2021 | Tour Day 6
2021 | Tour Day 5
Thursday was a much anticipated day for the ensemble since we knew we would have the day off (no traveling or program in the evening). Most of us felt like we needed the extra rest! It was a relief to go to bed Wednesday night and know that we could sleep as long as needed.… Continue reading 2021 | Tour Day 5
2021 | Tour Day 4
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to travel with an ensemble but not be part of the singing group? Let me give you a glimpse into a day in the life of a Tehillah member’s spouse. Day four of the tour started by waking to feed my baby, collect our loose belongings… Continue reading 2021 | Tour Day 4
