A 1, a 2, a 1,2... oh, I just remembered this one time...

I haven't really been blogging at all about show choir. I know that as the season picks up and more things become interesting, then there will be some stories to talk about. For now, whats been going on is cleaning, practicing, and practicing.

Last week, we had our second rehearsal with our choreographer. He is probably one of THE best in the nation, and he is such a goofy guy! When I was in Protege last year, he only choreographed our novelty so I didn't really get to spend much time with him, therefore I didn't get to know him. This year in Happiness, however, he has will be choreographing EVERYTHING and boy, has it been an experience.

To start off, in the summer we had our camp to learn everything (well, our opener and second song) and it was... undescribable. He was teaching like he usually did, all goofy and stuff so we could have fun but also learn, but then things started changing. As we had more practices with him after the camp, we started "changing" as he put it. We weren't giving it our all, and we were being disrespectful; aka talking too much. At one of the days we were learning our novelty, he flipped out. Basically, he told us that if we kept this up, we were going to suck majorly and fall. By basically I mean BASICALLY, cause if you do know him, you would know that he makes his talks 10 times the amount they should be. Anyways, I was definitely hurt by this. I really believed him and I sort of fell into this sadness that I never knew I would get out of someone giving me a talk, cause he can give one heck of a talk. Later, our director reassured us that that was just him talking and that we were still doing fine, but we did need to take our behavior into consideration.

At the next rehearsal with him, which was last week, things went really well. We learned almost half our closure without practically any interruptions, and it was really good. Now I am so excited for the year! We still need to work A LOT more, but I know that we can do it.
