Hello, everyone! Thank you so much for your questions... I will try to answer all of them! I have been having so much fun reading about all of you and thinking more about the place I am in as I try to respond to your questions!

In the choir, we sang "Baa Baa Black Sheep" as a vocal warmup— but the words were all in German! They call the song "Brüder Jacob" and although the tune is the same, the words are different.
