Choir Exams!

Exams are fast approaching for us high school students. For choir, our final exam is singing a song of our choosing with a group of 4 others or less.  I am working with one other person this year. We are singing Gone, Gone, Gone by Phillip Phillips. Its a really great song. Super catchy. Its also really easy to make harmonies to. I love it!
I'm a little nervous, about singing it, but I am also excited to sing it.
The best part about exams is listening to every person sing. I love how talented everyone is! It makes me feel like I am so untalented, but I don't care! People are just so good! It's also a good way to discover good music. I just need to get over the moves.

Concert!

Last night was the first night of the Pop's concert. I personally think it went really well! I went all out with my dancing on stage. It was really hard to use my belt voice for Roar, because I was out of breath from dancing. It was a lot of fun though.
Having costume changes was really hectic. People where running everywhere and there was so many different costume changes for my class. It was nice being the only ones with costume changes though because we got the whole dressing room to ourselves.
I was definitely disappointed that we didn't get to see the other choirs perform though. I really wish we could have seen them live, compared to on the recording of the show later. Women's did sneak into the auditorium though in between songs to see Varsity Voices to perform.
Tonight is the second night for the Pop's concert! We get to do the same thing all over again, but can fix the things we messed up. I am prepared to bring even more energy and go even more all out than I did last night. It is going to be really sad to see all of the seniors leave and for all of them in Concert Choir, this is their last concert ever at my school!!
Despite this, I am really looking forward to the second night of the Pop's concert!(:

Pops Concert!

This week in choir, we are preparing for our Pop's concert! It's my favorite concert of the year. Each of the four choirs prepare popular and fast moving songs. Each choir dances to one as well. This year, Women's chorus is dancing to two songs. One of them is called "Forget about the Boy", and the other is "Roar"by Katy Perry. Forget about the boy is a really cute song and we all have 20's costumes. For Roar, we also have costumes! We are going to be changing a lot during the concert.
On top of those two songs, we are also singing "Safe and Sound" by Taylor Swift and the Civil Wars. Its a really pretty song.
There are multiple whole song solos picked by our choir director. It's going to be really fantastic. I'm a little disappointed though, because my choir isn't able to watch the other choirs perform. Our multiple costume changes interfere with the smoothness of the concert. I really want to see the hard work  other people have put in for the semester, and I especially feel bad for the Seniors who don't get to see the last  Pop's concert they will ever be in!
Nonetheless, I am excited for the concert and hoping it turns out really great!
