Tonight was one of the best nights of my year. My final choir concert for the year...
At five thirty all seventy or so mixed choir students piled on to the risers to do a final run through of our two pieces. There was a huge train and a lot of traffic on the way to school, so we were all a little about everyone making it. Thank goodness they all did and our run throughs were great..we[mixed choir] felt really good about our pieces and ready for the concert.
Time flew and it was now 7:00. yay, concert time!!! As the lights dimmed, our tears just began to shine. First up, Concert choir. Flawless, as usual. Next, us. This was it. Our big finally of the year. Time to show our progress from simple "Jambo" to complex and intense "Elijah". We rocked it. We had such great confidence and our focus was on point. I was so proud of everyone and Nadia for leading us with such poise and utter perfectness.
Next in line was the Men's ensemble. I am WELL aware that I am not a man, but I as accompanying them on violin so..yeah. They did really well and got a great applause!! With a couple of fabulous Senior solos in between, Bel canto( A Capella ladies ensemble) was up. We did amazing and everything just seemed to come together really well!
Now it was time for recognizing the Seniors. Phew! *water works*...
Our seniors, whether a four-year student or just starting out, took over the choir with such a good quality of leadership and were immense role models.Melanie, girl we started out as Link crew acquaintances to Section leader colleagues. You are a great leader and I wanted to thank you for being such a quick learner and a great asset to the altos:)
NADIA, ummmm...where do I start? Maybe the fact that you were a leader since the beginning or that you made us focus and made choir fun when those times we were tired or unruly. You have come in EVERY SINGLE DAY with a huge smile and something positive to say. You kept drama out and brought a sense of family and team work in. YOU have made this program great...YOU will be remembered and missed forever and always<3333
Good job to everyone tonight and I LOVE YOU ALL
