So yesterday.... final ensemble concert. I was so worried coming up to the concert cause I had the sorest throat of my life, but my dad gave me miracle drugs and i couldn't have sounded better. I'm going to miss singing in that group. I have to get into a group when I'm in college cause I love singing so much now. It feels so good to make music with people, and the people in ensemble are so amazingly talented. It's incredible.
The concert though went really really well. We were right on and we had a ton of fun doing it too. The song "in Remembrance" was probably the best we've ever sung it, and it's so powerful anyway. I was truly amazed. Also, big big props to the a cappella group. It's probably the best i've ever heard them sing. Poor lawson though... he cracked, but who doesn't at some point in the singing career. I chocked on one of my notes during the concert, but i don't think it was very noticable. Kimberly heard it though :).
At the end of the concert of course several people started crying during the Lord Bless you and keep you, but it was soft tears that just kinda fill up in your eyes. Mr. Morris was one of those people. Despite how mad he would get with us from time to time he's going to miss us, and he knows it.
The party at my house afterwards was awesome. Supposedly the kids have never stayed at one of the sponsored parties afterwards for so long before. A bunch of people went swimming and we showered Ms Lutters and Mr Morris with gifts. Most desevedly too. Mr. Morris has put up with a whole lot this year. I'm going to miss him. He was an awesome teacher, freaking talented too. No more than talented, naturally gifted is more like it. Lots of fun stuff for everyone else at the party too though. Picture cds and dvds from our trip to germany. We had some good times together. Our group got along really well i'd say.
In other parts of life, everything else is winding up too. AP's are over, Senior celebration is tonight, my last dance concert is on tuesday, my last flute recital is sunday. It's all ending. All i know is that it's been fun, and hard at times, but it's all been worth it. I know I made mistakes and I know I'm no angel to everyone I've met at Westminster, but in the past few weeks I really have grown to at least appreciate everyone in our grade. Especially those who have been with me since pre-first. It's been a long haul, but we made it. I could just look around the campus and say "wow, I really made it, and now i'm on top".
OF course than again there is next year where I'll be on the bottom again, but i think that's kinda exciting.....
Love to all.... I made a list of all my friends here, cause i want to show appreciation to all of you, but that seemed so petty to me. Hope to see you all tonight! (minus john, carrie and Lyndel of course.. I love you too!)
