Free Write: Concert and Select Choir

This year, I have really been enjoying my time in concert choir and select choir. With four major performances behind us now, it is easy for me to say that our choir is definitely one with a lot of talent and potential. We have practice nearly every day, with an extra practice on every Monday night for about an hour and a half. With the evensong music and Carmina Burana completed, we were surprised when our teacher told us that we were going to get to start working on the infamous Black Box Concert. Usually a favorite among non-choral students, the choir treats anyone who buys a ticket to dinner and an evening filled with a set of music, selected by students, and performed by students. Anyone in choir can perform in the black box concert, with a group or by themselves, and the entire concert choir has a song to sing, along with the select choir to sing a few group songs. This year the overall theme in music is generally indie, with songs like "We Are Young" by fun., and talk of songs like "Daylight" by Matt and Kim. The choir is also performing a particularly special song with the band and a dance ensemble.  I am really enjoying my time in choir, and I think that it will be something that I do all four years throughout high school, and maybe even tie it into what I do in college. I feel extremely lucky to be able to go to a school where not only is academic success an ultimate goal, but academic success alongside athletic and artistic achievements. I am enjoying choir, and look forward to our upcoming concert!
