So I have been going...pretty much non-stop today. Chorus was quite stressful. We had the usual "its the day of a performance and you guys suck" reaction from Mr. Butler, but its to be expected. The problem is that most of the class just cracks under his pressure instead of stepping up, so then we get worse.
So we sing all period 4th period, then had an after school rehersal with all the chiors, just for continuity. Then around 4:20 i got a ride with Josh and we went to my house, changed into our tuxes and set off downtown for the Friends of the Museum Party at the History Museum. Got there at 5:15ish. Warmed up started singing at 6:00.
It was really loud. We were mainly just supposed to be a background entertainment chior, not like...a main event. Kinda like live music instead of playing music through a sound system. Anyways, we couldn't hear very well, it was a large open room, so our sound left our mouths and just seemed to evaporate. Solution: Sing louder. By the end of the performance my voice was becoming just...raspy. Not smooth, and my voice never does that. I wouldn't be suprised if I don't have a voice tomorrow.
So we finish our hour long program at 7 and get ready to leave. Well the plan was that Josh's dad would take us there, and my mom would pick us up. Well, it turns out Josh's dad never left, so I thought we were going to ride with him, so i called my mom and told her not to come. So I'm trying to find Josh, and can't find him. I decided to go ahead and walk out to where the car was one block away to see if Josh and his dad were waiting for me there. Well the weren't. So as I'm walking back I see Mr. Dove and ask him where Josh is. He didn't know. So I went to look, couldn't find him. I walk back to the car thinking maybe he left in the chaos of the party atmosphere and i didn't see him, so i went back to where the car was.
It was gone.
So I was stranded downtown. Hooray. I went back inside and talked to some chorus people that were still there. The girl that had taken them (some girl who is engaged, yet is dating my friend?) offered me a ride with them, but i just didn't feel comfortable, so i turned it down and called my mom to come get me. Well, they were nice enough to wait with me. In the time being, we hadn't had anything to eat, and we figured, since we were in tuxes, we looked rich enough to get some of the food from the party. So we went up to the table and got some pork tenderloin (yummeeee) and fried chicken (yummeeeeeeirrrrr) and chocolate and...yum. Not a lot though...I'm kinda hungry.
Well eventually, my mom got there. We left. I got home around...8:30, and started my english project, and i finished that around 10:00.
Rediculous.
My throat hurts.
I hope we don't sing in chorus tomorrow. For cryin out loud, we need a break!
ok, time for bed. My typing is starting to get kinda bad. I keep making mistakes and having to correct them.
