sing in a great choir again

So, i joined my church’s choir. I know for a fact, it’s not as good as my high school’s choir, but its the same music material, and the same quality, so, it’ll do. Plus, it’s GREAT to be able to go back to church again.

PS: In case you were wondering… yes, i did give Kelli back her cd’s and i have them on my computer.

(PICTURE: Musical Notes… because i thought it would be wrong if i put up pictures of a choir i didn’t know and googled.)

I am going to join the local Choral Society, rehearsals start next monday for the christmas performance of the Messiah! This one is getting marked done!

I was in a choir for 6 years in secondary school, we were really good by local standards! toured in Norway, and sung in St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, and made a CD which came out this summer. However I have left school, and due to circumstances, the choir is no more either. Its very odd!

This past year has been… difficult… yes, difficult. I graduated from high school over a year ago, and i dont really miss it all that much to be honest. The last thing i miss from that place was the classes. Ugh.

But i do kind of miss roaming the numerous hallways. I miss lounging around them afterschool with my best friend Megan.

I miss the open “mods” or periods that we had, and we could spend them in the “IMC’s” (study areas), or in the cafeteria. I miss the cafeteria chatter and gossip. I miss all the funny convos we’d have, and all the laughter, and the enjoyment of each others company if anything else.

the one thing i do miss, is a class. Choir. We were, for lack of a better word, AMAZING. I knew it too. I always have. It was my favorite class because it was the most relaxed class, and i sang, which is a passion of mine. All the stress of every other class and everything else in that school disappeared when i entered the Choir room.

But, best of all, we were all good. No… we weren’t good. We were great. The more we practiced the more mesmerized i was with our talent and with each song i memorized. It was the same with nearly everyone else. I caught myself having these songs stuck in my head during classes later on, and i’ve caught myself humming them multiple times.

I miss the feeling that i was apart of something great, and it happened to be a deep passion of mine. I didn’t stand out, yet there was a shining light above my head. I miss going to concerts out at museums or wherever when we were supposed to be in class. I miss the contests that we ended up scoring high in. I miss it all.

I even nicked a copy of the cds they made for us from my friend Kelli. Its the cds that have all of our performances in it.

I haven’t given them back.

I dont want to either.
