We had a friend over for FHE last night who was in the Orchestra on Temple Square for 2 years. It was awesome hearing about his experiences, including being a part of, and having a solo in, the Christmas broadcasts that they do each year.
They are actually set apart to be in the Orchestra. It is a calling, and their Bishop is informed that being in the orchestra takes precedence over their ward calling. The conductor of the orchestra lives in Holland, and he flies back and forth just to conduct the orchestra.
After hearing about his experiences, I have so much admiration for those who serve us in this way. I'm thankful for talented people who bless my life! (Thanks, Reid, for the FHE on talents!)
