Hey all! Long time no post! Anyway, just thought 'd give you a little update on what's going on in my life right now. I bolded the main points so you don't have to read though it all if you don't want to.
Well, the thing that's been running through my mind the most is a good place to start. In March, I get to go on a trip to New York City for Spring Break. It's so exciting because1, I've never been to New York before, 2, There's a possibility that I will get to see my aunt who I haven't seen in 5ish years. There's a bunch of other reasons too, like we're seeing two CLASSIC broadway shows, West Side Story and The Phantom of the Opera. Plus seeing all the classic New York tourist site-seeing places like the Statue of Liberty and Times Square! Haha. And I'm going to be a COMPLETE tourist by having my camera with me with extra memory cards and batteries. DUH. Thousands of pics. Haha. That I've already promised to share with EVERYONE, haha. I'll probably put them up on MySpace and Facebook. That's an easy general picture sharing thing. haha.
What else... Oh, I auditioned for the Spring musical at my school, My Fair Lady. And I landed the role of Mrs. Higgins' maid. Whoo! One WHOLE line I get to say, then I'm part of the chorus... Rehearsals have been nightmares basically. The director doesn't respect me so that's mutual. Also, we move REALLY slowly through learning the songs, it's rediculous. We haven't even begun to talk about choreography of all the music. The only good part about it is that the other people in the play are really fun. We do have a good time before and after rehearsals... so there's that.
"The Vicar is here, ma'am. Shall I show him into the garden?"
There's my line. IKR, it's lame. hahaha.
Uuuum, I'm the Worthy Associate Advisor for my assembly of Rainbow Girls, which is the basic equivilent of Vice President. I am also the Grand Choir Director for the GRAND assembly, meaning the whole state. I'm not really looking forward to it, but I might get to sing a solo like the Grand Soloist does, I just have to talk to the Grand Chairperson to see if she has a song, being that she is also the Grand musician. I'm crossing my fingers. I was the Grand Soloist and sub for the Grand Choir Director last year, and I definitely liked singing that solo. I sang "If We Hold On Together" by Diana Ross. It's a beautiful song, and it fit my voice pretty well. It was a little more in my lower register, but that's okay. Anyway, that's over, haha. This year, I hope I get to sing again. If not, such is life, I guess. Meh.
Um, the Choir concert is coming up March 2nd. I'm really scared, not really that I'm nervous for myself, but for the Choirs in general. See, we have been without our AWESOME director for a few weeks now because he's been battling with pnemonia. It really sucks. All the students miss him like crazy and we've had to sort of direct ourselves. One of the classes, I'm sort of the main dorector, and it's the freshmen or beginner choir, so it can get pretty hectic, just because of the way 60-70 freshmen are. Okay, well, not ALL 70 kids are freshman, but about 75-85% of them are. Anyway, I think we'll be okay. The director will be okay to be in the audience for the concert, but whatev.
Ummmmm.... weeellll... Senior year is coming up for me soon. I'm starting to learn about the different colleges I should apply to and what my major should be, SAT and ACT stuff, all that crap... gah. That's kinda given me a headache. Like, aren't I supposed to have one more year of being a kid before this "future" stuff starts happening? Meh, whatever. I guess it's good to plan ahead and go somewhere in life. I want to get into music, which is probably one of the worst professions someone can go into, just because it's so... unpredictable. And... idk, it's just not a very stury thing to put your future into. But I'm not interested in anything else. Music is my life. Although some of the people in choir think I'm not good enough to be in the top choir. I was really upset when they decided I wasn't even better than some people who I felt that they weren't very good. I know that sounds mean, but I mean one of the girls barely speaks English and hardly understands what's being explained to her musicwise. But I got over it. I figured out that the peoplewho picked the groups were picking their friends rather than going for the best talent, sound, and blend. So basically, they won't be the best they can be, just because they played favorites. Oh well. I will be in another group. It won't be the "top choir" group, but I will be at the competition.
The singing compitition I'm talking about is called Solo & Ensemble, and basically you can sing a solo, or put a group together and you sing in front of a judge. If you make it past regionals, you go to the State competion. I've been to state two times in a row,and it's pretty much a blast. I get to get away from my hometown for a weekend and go to a place with DECENT SHOPPING and a mall with a food court and a nice hotel and spend time with great musicians who care a lot more about music than the crappy people back at school who don't even bother trying a solo/ensemble piece. It's nice, and I hope my group makes it this year. I have no idea if they will, just because the judges are supposively going to be tougher this year. Crossing my fingers on this one too.
Okay, well, I've written way more than enough for one journal entry, so until next time, keep reading my other journal entries! haha. And COMMENT!!!
