Show Fest

WOW! What a day. Filled with ups and downs, happiness and saddness, love and friendship, the feeling of a lifetime, and the realization that it was my last time perfomring with that group of people as that choir. Not only was I SOOOOO proud of them and overwhelmed with joy but it was very bitter sweet. Starting with an incredible honor of being called the official 5th ave mom even though i'm not even a mom at all. After our first performance, for the first time, our choir acutally sat waiting to hear if we made finals or not. Shaking, my heart beating a million miles a minute and holding the hands of my friends our name was called... A HUGE burden lifted off my chest. After being so proud of our scores... 8 and 9 out of 10... we set off to prepair for the finals. Making major changes to our show was crazy to even think about, but we pulled off cutting both black outs. Being as i'm a senoir and president of this choir, it was crazy to get up on stage getting set, and watch as the choir i've grown up in gets ready for it's last performance of the year. I cried... and was conforted with the words of a fellow perfomer... "dont cry, there are many more stages to come." That performance was nothing short of AMAZING! We ended outside the theater and yell at the top of our lungs our chant. After that's finished I just lost it. Balling my eyes out. I felt so proud to have stayed with the choir and stuck it out. So proud of them. So sad to leave. And so happy that any place would have made me excited. Amazingly, we got 2nd runnner up (3rd) which is TOTALLY cool. I'm So proud of my choir, so proud of me, and SOOOO proud to have seen the transformation from a month earlier.


WOW!
