About the rest of the choir things I was in this last week:

the concert: I have never even been to a high school choir before so it was a bit overwhelming but fun. we kind of got confused with some standing orders and some people sat in our seats so we were stuck in the back but it was still fun. I loved listening to all the different choirs. this will be the only time this year that all the choirs will be in one concert so it was nice to hear. and I was glad to hear them so I could pick which choirs I may want to be in next year. after the concert we went out to apple bees with Heidi and Chris and their little ones. It was good.
festival: the next day we went to a festival in chandler. we performed really well and the guy that came and critiqued us really thought we did well. he knew our director and they kind joke fighted the whole time. and because the boys weren't there i turned pages at the piano with my friend rella. it made me feel important. :) then after that we all got on the bus and drove to where they would drop us off for lunch. none of us knew where we were going so that was interesting. and we all got dressed on the bus! Ive never done it before and didn't think that i would but apparently i do have those skills. ok so they dropped us off and we had an hour. so a group of friends and i walked over to apple bees ( yes I did have it two meals in a row) ( yes I had the same thing) and had a very nice lunch. then about 10 min before we had to be on the bus ( yes they would leave us) we ran over to jack in the box for shakes. ( yes they were good. yes they made me sick cuz i was full) then we drove to school. we got to school a half hour earlier then was expected but we didn't want to go to class so we ( me and my friends) walked around and i finished my homework i hadn't done :) then onto class..

too bad

ok I feel bad. I was planning on doing auditions. I promise I was. hehe k so on Thursday night I realised that the jazz choir auditions were the next day and I didn't know the song! dang eh? yeah well I tried and tried but after all I just didn't feel good about it so I knew I wouldn't be doing auditions this weekend. so my next trial was telling my director. eekkk ok so this year in chorus is called the audition year because we have to be in the sophomore choirs but next year they choose which choir we're in. so everything we do this year is going to say something to the directors you know? no pressure or anything! so when I realised I had to tell him this I was terrified! I started thinking of ways to do it or to just not do it and not show up. but that thought didn't last long. I knew that I couldn't live with that. as much as it scared me to have to say something like this to me I knew that that's not who I am. and what wouldn't he think of me then? so I debated for two days and finally went to him yesterday. fully expecting the disappointed look and a speech. but when I told him why I couldn't do it ( big projects at school I wasn't expecting and all the family things this last week) he totally understood and all he said about it was that he'd call them and let them know. and smiled at me. SMILED! hehe I'm so lucky to have a conductor like him and I love being in his class!
