cheesycheesycheese ball.
bar none - the best decision i made for myself over the past four years was to stay in chorus. i might never have been the most stellar student but it's been the class i enjoyed the most often, the most frequently and got the most out of every year. whether it be first, third or ninth period.. the music wing cheesily is another home. it's the most welcoming place in the school.
the chorale has almost all of my favorite people in it and gives back so so so much to our school as a whole. it's a place where 80 strangers are close, have their own jokes and work together. granted, mrs. frankonis will inevitably tell next year's juniors that she is sad for them only because they wouldn't get another year to spend with seniors of such a high caliber - it means the world she said it about us, regardless.
every other concert, i was always concerned with getting the pieces "just right" but tonight it wasn't necessarily about that. while we were (it's a fact!) incredible - there were flaws. i stuck out once, altos didn't sustain a note, weak women's entrance in round earth, hesitation in the boys' bridge solo - those weren't important. it was the culmination of all we've worked for. the only way to REALLY understand each ensemble's performance was to watch them work for it over the past semester.
