I went to the SHS choir concert tonight to kinda of...support the old choir geeks. I miss them a lot. I was afraid of what I would hear because Miller never came back adn Maynard left. I didn't really know what to expect from this Rust guy. But, they didn't sound that bad. Ok, Symphonic didn't know any of the words to their songs, and Bel Canto was off pitch all night. Chamber wasn't bad, actually I was really impressed. They sounded pretty good. Maybe not 1st place Metro, but good none the less. Madrigals, I was really happy for them. They sounded good. With the exception of one female voice who stood out over everyone else and one person with a split second delay on the "T" and "D", it was really good. they look great too. Once I saw Amie scratch her face, and I know she knows better. They were great though.
It was so good to see them all again. all the old Chamber people! Justin Long and our Heather on the Hill! Claire Bane and her being crazy but just so damn sexy! I saw Timmy and he hugged me and i love him! and then there was Nick who was the best of all since I haven't seen him in forever and i missed him. And there was Angelina and Mrs. Maynard and Caiton Fritz and Holly Burton and so many other people.
It was so hard to watch them all on stage and not be up there. I miss it so much. Not so much the choir or the choral music or the people (though I do miss them a lot). What I'm talking about is being on the stage. It's weird that, for four years that stage was my home. it was my varsity football field or my state championship lacrosse team. I didn't play sports or do anything kind of clubs. I was a choir kid and that stage was my home. I really felt like it was a part of me. Now that I'm out of school, and I'm not singing anymore, I miss it.
It was something, pretty much the only thing, that I as good at. I mean, no sports, no clubs, no straight A's. But when I was on that stage, and everyone was looking at me, I was good at something. For once, i was the one being praised. I was the one being heard. I miss that.
Now on to bigger and better things then i guess.
I wonder what is ahead for me. I wonder if I will ever find a place like that again. A place where I feel so at home.
When I sing, it's like...there is nothing there but me and my voice. All the pain, all the sadness, all the worry and stress...it goes away. It's just me and the notes that come out. It's kind of like therapy. Now I sing when my parents are gone, or in my car. I don't get to just...in a way I guess you could say "vent". Grandma said i should join a local theater group. Dad said I should do radio commercials for companies with theme songs. I think they are both nuts. I know I can sing, but...I'm not one of those "great" ones. i don't think I could compete with Brittany Spears or Cierra or whoever else is at the top of the charts. It would be cool to be famous i guess, but i don't think I could take the rejection of being a one hit wonder. I would want to make it big or not at all.
enough of this "I'm so sad about the past" stuff. I have chinese food to eat.
peace out, yo.
