Chorus Flashbacks

Helping my sister at her school is giving me mega-flashbacks to highschool choir. I mostly arrange her music, and am finding a lot of Kirby Shaws, that should mean something to all of you dear chorus dork sister spirits out there. You know, those cheesy chorus pieces with the face of the arranger pictured on the front. Kirby looks like a Young Life leader, after looking at one of his peices, "Operator please connect me to heaven (I want to speak to Jesus)", I realized he probably was.
But a major perk of being here is xeroxing all of my old chorus music so I can practice singing when I'm in Senegal.
When I come to help my sister, who is a highschool choir teacher by the way, for a week or so I usually teach a capella vocal percussion, thanks to my extensive experience (: with Tar Heel Voices freshman year. My sis always plays The Cartoon Medley on the Two weeks from today CD, then she plays the Nintendo medley and makes me teach them puh ts ts kuh ts. They usually can't do it but it makes me feel like a worthwhile visitor anyway.
We just arranged "I get Around" by the Beach Boys with Jenny's women's Jazz choir. Apparently the lyrics are "I get around out on the town, I've got a real good head, I'm making real good bread". ?! ? Shah, ok.
