Oh my gosh! Musicale was so much fun this year. In case you don't know what musicale is basically a bunch of Christian Choirs get together for a choral festival. It's amazingly fun. Two days of nothing but listening to solos and duets and trios and small and large ensembles and small and large school choirs and mass choir performances! Does life actually get any better? I think not! This year, I actually did a solo. It was actually fun- although I really don't consider myself a soloist. The judge really liked me, and actually- I scored a 95 out of 100. I was pretty excited. It was basically the bomb-digitty. But, the real reason that I was excited after musicale wasn't because of me and my accomplishments. I was really extremely proud of our choir. After a lot of hard work and frustration we ended up winning for small schools. We got to perform at the command performance on Friday night. I will have to post some pictures soon. I was SOOOO proud of us. I was so happy that everyone was involved in the winning and not just a soloist or an ensemble. It was just great. I was also just proud to see how far we have come. We now have 33 people in our choir- and I think back like 4 years when we only had like 5 people. Mrs. Grove has brought us a very long way and I am so glad to be a part of it. She has worked very hard, so I am glad that she was able to have that experience. She was also the Honors Choir director. Basically the Honors choir is made up of one person from each part (SATB) in a choir who is selected by the director for their musical ability and Christian leadership. I was chosen from the altos in our choir, so I was very very proud of Mrs. Grove and her being able to direct the Honors choir, it was really a great honor. Standby pictures coming soon.
In other news, we had a farewell party this afternoon for my brother who is in the National Guard . It was fun. There was a very interesting group of people. A lot of family friends, his friends and a TON of relatives and neighbors. It was kind of like a wedding crowd. Just TONS of people and random people. There were a lot of people here. We always have big family gatherings during the summer, but not while it's pouring down rain when they have to all hang out inside. He is leaving next Wednesday for California for more training. He will be there for a while and then he will go to Georgia and then come home for like four days, and then be shipped to Kuwait for a bit and then will end up in Baghdad. Intense? Yes indeed.
How was the other part of my spring break? Ah, just fine. Pretty stressful as you can imagine with Alex leaving soon, and this party, and Emmi's moving back home--- oh yeah, that happened. Anyway, and Rylee hanging out here a bunch this week. I also did something a bit different with my hair. I died it a little bit red. Like, the brown is a bit lighter and it has a little bit of subtle red. I am happy with it. But them my older sister ruined my life by giving me a haircut and starting with my bangs. I look retarded with bangs, so whatever. I didn't have her cut anything else after that. Oh well- it's just hair, it'll grow back. There are worse things I suppose. Like, maybe, my hair not coming out of that silly orange/blond that it turned when we bleached it in order to lighten up the brown. That was stressful. But Megan pulled through and now my hair is calm and not retarded looking- except for my bangs... :)
Well, I go back to school on Monday, which should be interesting considering I haven't actually done a lot of homework. Okay, ANY homework... :)
