Damian has belonged to the With One Voice Ashburton choir since 2016. One of the songs he loves to sing with the choir is ‘I’m Gonna Reach My Heavenly Home Someday,’ because he gets to do a solo! Damian was unable to attend choir for a few weeks in the lead up to With One Voice Ashburton’s performance at the Surrey Hills Music Festival. Knowing how important this song was to Damian, the choir’s conductor Kym prepared the choir to sing Damian’s song anyway, just in case he made an appearance! “On the day of the gig, we weren’t sure if Damian would be able to perform with us. So before we went on stage I said to the choir: ‘If Damian doesn’t make it we’ll skip past that song, but if he rocks up, then we’ll do it no matter where we are in the program.’” Damian showed up a few minutes into the performance, and Kym and the choir were ready for him to do his solo! “It was very fun – as I walked in, I sang my solo, and it was like I was the guest appearance! A special shout-out to Kym and everyone at Ashburton for waiting for me, as I was a few minutes late. It was very amazing, I thought I would miss it!”
