La la la la la la laaaaaa

Our concert choir at our school is pretty big. Actually it is huge! This is my first year in it, and I don't think I have ever been in a choir where half the people in it take up one section! Well, its huge, so our sound is HUGE. The sopranos over power our little alto section, which is not their fault, but there are just so many. Anyways (me getting off topic as usual I have to get back on) because I was in this enormous concert choir, I was eligible to audition for Allstate, which is this statewide choir that you get to sing with and is quite a big honor. Usually, at the most, three to five people make it. I don't really know how many made it in past years, but I do know that only three or four made it last year. Going on, I decided to try it out, and I made it into the auditioning process! At first, I didn't really know if I wanted to even try out and put the effort into it, but I thought what the heck, I will do it. So when I made it I was pumped! The problem was, I didn't have a quartet to try out with, which you need one to audition with. I was assigned to this girl who is younger than me, and I was a little iffy. That did a flip when I heard her sing for the first time.. I was like dang girl! We ended up sounding pretty good together, so I was getting even more excited. Then two other boys were added to the group, and it made it sound so much more amazing.
We have been practicing since we were paired together, and it has been going pretty well! There are those shaky songs and those parts where you just want to shoot yourself, but ya know, it happens. Today was this mock trial thing that we got to meet up with the other schools in the community to sing together and see what it will be like to audition for the real thing; problem was, half my group didn't come. I arrived around nine in the morning, being so happy to be alive, and it just made my day to see only our soprano... such joy. Our bass has been sick, so I knew he wasn't going to make it, but where was our tenor? No where, that is where. It wasn't a huge deal since it was only practice, but we were the only quartet that ended up as a duet; that isn't really good. Although it didn't start out good, we ended up doing really well. We got a lot of good feedback, and it helped us learn what to do better and what to fix. I know this week we are going to work a lot harder on getting better at everything, but hopefully things won't get too hectic.
After all we have time, I mean the actual audition is like only a couple weeks away. That's okay to not get to crazy about everything, right?
