“Live Your Life” We are never promised the honor to live the next day; we are never guaranteed tomorrow. You can not live regretting your decisions.

My mind soon began to comprehend the musical terms being hurled my way. The musical comprehension could be felt by everyone in the room and the atmosphere was reshaped. The choral program
