Choir!




Sooo, the past week, we had 3 choir concerts. One Thursday night, one Friday night, and one Sunday afternoon. They were...interesting...haha. We got to wear those ever so attractive bright red robes! YES! i felt like a tomoato, the devil, a curtain, a gospel choir member (as you see in the second picture), a nun, and there was probably more...but i cant remember them all. The performance was great! We got a standing ovation all three concerts and Friday and Sunday were sold out, but behind the seens...things weren't so peachy. On Thursday night...umm wow. It was soooo bad. hahahha in the freshman girls holding area...it was not fun. at all. it was like a 4th grade sleepover. ya know when like everyone is yelling at each other, girls were crying, people were complaining left and right, shut up was being yelled every 3 seconds, and there was soooo much cussing! (okay i guess you probably wouldn't hear cussing at a 4th grade sleepover, but other then that...) I was getting so mad and annoyed!! hahaha seriously though! WE ARE IN 9TH GRADE! and we were so unorganized that day. and then my favorite part about thursday, after we had all yelled at each other, over each other, said shut up about 473 times, and just about pulled our hair out, we all got back on stage and happily sang the last 3 songs like nothing was ever wrong. it was interesting.

THEN ON FRIDAY: so first of all this girl got in a fight on friday, and she was in choir but no one thought she would show up. this girl just happens to stand right next to me, how peachy. anyways! she showed up, checked in so she could get her points, asked to use someone else's phone, told someone she was leaving to go to her friends house and she would be back after the concert, and left. with the phone that wasn't hers. after about a half hour of freaking out and calling and texting the phone, we got it back. only the girl who got her phone stolen (partially) was furious...it was not good. but we all got on the stage and sang once again like everything was perfect! (haha we sooo fooled the audience (: )

finally, on sunday, our last concert, the complications were nothing compared to what all happened on thursday and friday! the girl who stole the phone was back...and then girl who got her phone stolen was also there. and guess who stands directly inbetween then the whole concert? YEP. ME. how. awesome. don't worry though, nothing happened (thank goodnessss!) the only awkward thing was that at the end while we were in the middle of bowing, the lights went off on stage. hahahah and we only got like half a standing ovation casue the audeince didn't have enough time to stand up before the lights went off. but ya know...i'd say that was pretty successful compared to the past experiences.

tomorrow we have our last Christmas performance for 8th graders during school. i'm hoping we will have no issues with this one. hahahahhaah yeah right.
