CHAN CONCERT 2010!

wow. the Chan Concert was AMZING! it was so much better than performing in the other choir i'm in. The Bach Choir doesn't have the same spirit and love that the St. Pat's Concert and Chamber Choir have. it's like, we are all together and connected when we sing, and a great feeling of.. something bigger than us, just overwhelms everyone. and we just sing until our chests are gasping for air and our voices hurt. but it feel just so good to sing like that. you feel powerful, like you can take on the world. it's just fantastic. 


i think anyone missing out on this is very unlucky. i loved it so much. it's like, i didn't like choir because of waking up early in the morning and stuff, and the after school practices, and my feet hurting like someone hit them with a hammer. but in the end, it was only a bit of pain for the greatest feeling in the world. not only is singing just amazing, but the applause we got blew me away and i was caught smiling so wide my jaw hurt, and i was almost in tears. 


the songs Weston Noble conducted made most of the people in the Concert Choir cry. why? i think it was because the way the music and the words combined made the songs in itself feel like a dream. Make Me and Instrument of Thy Peace was the song that brought people to tears. i looked around as we finished and was amazed on how many people were bawling. then i replayed the ending of the song in my head, and just wanted to sing it out, because it was so beautiful. and so, i was overwhelmed, and almost cried myself. Then when the whole thing ended, and we got all off stage, everyone was screaming, and chanting "2010!" and just everyone realizing it was over and all the hard work we put into it had payed off, made them cry. and that made me cry too. the energy after the concert was just unbelievable. i didn't want it to end. 


but it was late, around 11..? and i was tired. now it's 1:30 and i'm writing this because the thrill still hasn't gone down. it's started to, i feel my eyes getting heavy, but i just want to write down everything that happened because it was great. 


so this has been an experience i will never ever forget in my lifetime, and.. I CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR! :D
