Post 79: Dinner with the Church choir

Today was Wednesday.  Work was a fairly normal affair.  We got four bonsai trees in the Diplomanten Room because they weren't getting enough sun in their other location.  Then we got 8 other trees that were placed just outside our windows so now we live in a veritable forrest.
After work, we had our last church choir practice.  It was also the celebration dinner for Anton and Simone Bier after their wedding.  So we had plenty of leberkaes, bread, pretzles, and bier.  During the course of the meal, Erika stood up and made some announcements regarding the early schedule after the summer break.  Then she said that she had prepared something for her best singers.  She had tallied up how many times people were present, and how many times people were absent so the top 4 or 5 got bowls made by Erika with the words "Fleissigste Singer/in" depending on man or women.  Then she said that she had one more as a memento from the choir, so she had prepared a plate for me with the words "Zur Errinnerung - Kirchenchor Meitingen" (To Memories - Church choir Meitingen).  Then everybody signed the plate.  After this, they wanted to hear some of the recordings that I'd made of the choir, so I played one of them.  Then they asked me to play trombone for them, then piano.  It was an interesting night.  I'd never performed after having two drinks before, but they enjoyed it, so that is good.
