On Tour with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square

I found this fun infographic on line.

Prior to leaving on tour, we attend a manditory meeting in the Tabernacle. Designed to instruct, remind, and motivate, I like to think of it as a pre-tour pep rally. 

Works for me! I am highly motivated and ready to go!

Here is what I would like to remember from the meeting:

Be ready for each and every performance.
Go out, make a SPLASH, and come home. 
Let people feel the Spirit through you and your music.
Things that have happened on past tours are still bearing fruit today.
When you are tempted to complain, STOP IT !
Think of it as being with 600 of your closest friends on a “little retreat.”
You are now in the Lord’s hands.
Things will happen as He directs this great work.


You are an ambassador of the Lord and of His church.
There is no way of measuring the lives that will be touched.
May the Lord be with you and your families in your absence.
Being with the choir and orchestra is not for the faint of heart.
Music is a powerful means to communicate with the Lord.
Make God’s purpose your purpose, and you will experience spiritual perfection.


My large bag and concert clothing are packed, ready, and delivered. The luggage trucks will leave on Tuesday. We leave in ten days.
