Last night I was able to go to the first choir concert of the year at LWLHS. surprisingly enough it was somewhat hard to go to. I walked in and there was all the acapella people talking in the hallway getting ready to walk in and getting all lined up...or as close to it as possible. We sat down and I was able to watch chorale sing a few songs and then it was the band. At one point Ethan turned to me and said, "what movie is this from?" i told him i wasn't sure...hmm. I think i'll have to look that one up or even just ask Mr. Staub. Then acapella came up and sang and they were good. I was so glad to be able to hear them. I turn to deirdre and minte and told them how weird it was to be sitting down at one of the concerts because the last time i had sat through a concert at LW was probably 6 years ago for their christmas concert. It was before mr. staub and before they decided to have the concerts in the gym.

Of all the things I miss the most about high school and just school in general right now it's choir. I miss being able to warm up and the feeling of accomplishment after we finish a song perfectly. I miss being able to judge the song as a member of the choir and remembering that next time I need to fix little parts here and there. I loved being an alto. haha. I loved being able to listen to the clashes and what weird songs we get to sing or what spirituals we're doing for this concert.

I talked to Mr. Staub after the concert and it was so nice to talk to him. We talked about random things for just a few minutes but I am so glad I did.

For four years choir was one of the biggest parts of my life. We had choir tour, great friends, crazy drama and stories from the different churches we sang at throughout the year and through every tour. We had a wonderful director who I can't even begin to thank how choir changed my life and my perspective on music. I am so thankful.

Maybe in the future I can join some type of choir where I do sing again. I'm not the greatest or anything but maybe. But nothing will change the way I felt about LW's 4 years and how being in that choir changed my life.
