one more for the scrap book
I just had my last chorus concert ever at THS. Besides it being too long, it being really hot, and me hating heels, I think it went really well! The Madrigals did our songs pretty well, no major mess ups. We definitely rushed with "Chile Con Carne" and probably went a tad flat, but what else is new? Oh and we went super flat on "Elijah Rock," but you know how we have a tendency to go flat. A Capella was good. But just good, we've definitely done it a lot better before.. isn't that frustrating? We messed up on the staging in "Lion" and forgot the first section of wee's... and our tempo was a bit too fast for "Longest Time".. ugh. and I think I botched my solo, but everyone said that I did fine. I oversang for the first part of the concert, and when I do that, my low range sorta disappears, and my solo is in the lower part of my range, so yeah... I think I might have messed up the words a tad, but I can't really remember. "Hard to say goodbye" went off without a hitch, or at least I think so.. regardless, everyone loved it, so it's all good :) The senior thing didn't go to bad either, especially for just starting it this past thursday. We sang Danny Boy (which wasn't too bad considering.. we needed more basses though) and a Remix of "Big Spender"...
The minute he walked in the door, we could tell he was a man of music, a chorus teacher. Determined and on time, a pitch pipe in his pocket with a perfect chime. So let us get right to the point, we don't sing on pitch for every teach we meet.. Hey Mr. Bell! Help us sing this song right on beat... Do you want to sing notes, notes, notes? How about a few chords, chords, chords? Let us sing a major... do-re-me... no-na-no, chord...
hahaha, and so on, it was good, everyone started laughing when we broke out into the warm-ups :) good way to end my HS chorus career..
