Ugh, my feet hurt so badly! I just
got back from my first Rhapsody in Blue concert with me in it; and I have to
say that I think it went great! I don't know why I was so nervous; I guess I
was just worried about messing up the choreography. Luckily I didn't :)
Well..... There was one thing. When we were switching formations from
"Kiss the Girl" to "Under the Sea" I ended up next to the
wrong people, so I had to slide behind some people on the step and slide into
my correct place. Honestly? I had a blast. One thing that sucked though? Was
when we were in the room waiting to go on. I was just sitting by myself while
everyone else was talking to each other. I guess that could have kind of been
my fault, considering how I am not as outgoing as them. But oh well, what's in
the past is in the past, and I am letting it go. I wish we would have been
allowed to sit in the audience so I could hear the other choirs sing. That is
one thing I miss about not being in choir; is getting to hear the other choirs.
When we walked on we were waiting backstage and we got to hear the Advanced
Girls Choir sing their last song. Then we walked on (apparently not where Mrs.
Miner wanted us to) and got into our first formation, for the first song in the
medley. Everything went great! Except that one thing I told you about earlier.
I am so glad that we switched up the original choreography and made it just a
little bit simpler. We removed some of the original formations, and put us into
lines. This was because Mrs. Miner said that when we were doing the difficult choreography and singing, we lost the energy of our voices. You couldn't hear us. What good is choreography to a CHOIR concert if you can't hear the words? Its' not. So that is why we changed it. It was a really cute concert (from what I heard).
Tomorrow I have to play my orchestra
solo in front of the whole class (I hate that Mrs. Tuke makes us do that)! I
just figured out what I was going to play, two hours before I had my choir
concert. I am hoping that I will do well enough. I have to be really good
considering that I am first chair viola; I mean, it's not that big of an
accomplishment considering that there are only five violas. There are so
little, that we had to add a 3rd violin section to the orchestra! I
practiced for hours until I had to start getting ready for my choir concert;
and I am hoping that it will be good enough to at least make it so my teacher
isn't disappointed. Next term I am going to make sure that I have an amazing
solo! I will do it out of Suzuki Viola Book 4 (I will try my hardest!). Well
wish me luck!
