Day 42

Oh man, the concert was not what I expected. In a bad way. We started with Sing Dem Hern and it was just...horrible. We each seemed to be out of it and we weren't singing together. Then, Women's chorus reminded me of a Middle school choir, where the little girls can't reach for the high notes and their stretching as high as they can just to REACH but then they sound raspy and out of breath. The Men's chorus was alright, but not as great or sophisticated as last year. It seemed like they were going everywhere with their notes as they tried to find the right ones. Then, for my choir, Las Cantantes, we weren't perfect, but we weren't that horrible either. I'm in Alto 2, but for both of our songs, you could not hear Alto 2 except for the times where we were Forte (loud). It really pissed me off. And then, you have Monumental Singers, the greatest choir of our school, the one Mrs. Hazard and most of our choir teachers have spent their time on so they could be the best of the best. And, of course, they were the best. Their songs were perfect for them, their voices were perfect. I mean, seriously, how did they get better songs than us? How did that happen? I don't know, I feel like my choir is so...cliche? Not the right word, but it's meaning is what I'm looking for. Ah, amateurs, that's the one. Yep, that's it.
