Showchoir...*sigh*

The last day of the ISAS (Independent Schools Association of the Southwest) is usually slow and it's not unheard of for schools to skip it entirely. This year we couldn't leave early (forgive the font changes....something went horribly wrong while typing this) because we, the choir, had to perform our Showchoir dances at 9:30 in the morning.

Now (yippie it's back to normal...for now) we were in the same time slot as some other big name schools so most of the people who came to our event were not able to make it into their preferred event. So they started off a little irritated to say the least. Mixed Choir went first and they "warmed up" the crowed for us. Then it was our turn.

There was a decent audience: about 30 people came. i could tell by their faces that they were not blown away by the performance of the underclassmen. We started our first number, "Lean on Me"-Glee. We came in with little practice, technical difficulties, and about 1/4 of the cast present and accounted for. I couldn't help but laugh at the very displeased faces i saw out in the crowed. When we finished our first number, i saw the hopeful looks in their eyes, but it wasn't over yet.

Our final song was another Glee song, "Don't Stop Believin' ". The faces grew more displeased at hearing an all-time hit get murdered. I sang loud enough for people to hear me, but i was singing base, and the base part was nowhere near the melody. After a few glares, i decided to switch to the melody. The song finished and the applause were loud and happy as we left the stage.

We made sure to leave out the back and out of sight. I did enjoy the faces though.

Oh well.
