We started rehearsing in September! Yes, that early. It paid off. This year was just a bit different tho, she did have one of her talented pianist come to play a piano piece. I felt his pain as he sat at the piano Thur. night trying so hard to play his song with all these distracting noisy girls! haha But he did very good. We must have ran the program 30times before calling it a night.
Yesterday was the big day! We had to be backstage at 5pm sharp. Then we had to wait for Lori to get there to hand out our passes so the Security guards could let us in(ok, they really were nice tho!). It went by sooo fast! I'm sad its already over.
It was very hard to keep all the girls quiet while the other singers were on stage. Some of those girls are very obnoxious and bratty! The only time they obeyed was when Marshal was in charge. Oh well!
Quite a few little girl groups went before it was out turn to go on stage. Here is the first song we sang(not all of my group, actually, 4 of these girls aren't even in my group hehe).
Me, Emily, Ally, Karlie, Erin and Julia. Then right after us Tiffany and Rachel sang Silver Bells. I LOVE their voices. So pretty.
The second song we sang was, yes, Santa Baby. I was so nervous about singing this song because we have never had a boy dresses as 'santa clause' gawk at us while singing! But we were fine. If you want to watch, here is the link, http://www.youtube.com/user/AmandaN93/u/7/--571VeQejI
Anyways, despite my nervousness and my horrible cold, I think I did pretty darn well! ;)
And here is the Peace, Peace, Peace song that the whole group got to sing. :)
It was a great success! Now, I will say that after us a group of elderly women came to do an act after us and kudos to them for getting up there and being active etc. But, the way they dressed so not right even if you are 80 and don't care(yes, they ranged anywhere from 65-80). So anyways, Emily and I were in the bathroom fixing up before going out and this lady comes in, in her skimpy outfit and her stick body and says " you guys did such a wonderful job, such lovely voices!, now, just think keep this up and one day you can look just like me!" No thanks, I'm good. It was gross.
Here are a few fun shots! Rachel and Madison

Sorry this is sooo long, but I had to get it all in. hahaRandom fact: I'm wondering how long its gonna take to get this glitter spray outta my hair.

That is too funny about the older lady! You could have said, "Yeah...I hope we sound like you, and look like you...but we'll be wearing more clothes" :) ha ha ha....
ReplyDeleteWe see the same deal at parades.
That sounds like that was a lot of fun! How neat that your teacher gets to bring all her singers every year, that must be an honor!
ReplyDeleteWow, you girls did really good! You all have such beautiful voices!
Oh my goodness, that would be disturbing. I guess the older ladies see all the younger girls and how they dress and they may think they can fit right in, of course not knowing how much it pains other peoples eyes. But I agree with you kuddos for them actually being active and participating in the Christmas recital.
Great post! :D

It was pretty funny. And yeah, I could have said something like that, but I think we both were just a little too disturbed to say anything at all! lol
ReplyDeleteReally? I guess we can't escape from it all. :/
Makayla~It was a lot of fun! Oh it is, and its always such a great experience!
Thank you! I was really nervous, everyone seemed to lose their voices. eep!
It really was. But even most of the girls don't dress inappropriately, recital or not. I guess they look at every other girl performing. I don't know. haha yeah, it does! I did feel bad for them tho because some how, as soon as it was their turn to go on stage, their music wouldn't work so they had to do everything with out it! So, I guess I can't be too hard on them. ;)
Thanks for the comment!

Sounds like you had a great time! We are going down to Glendale Glitters sometime this week... that is really funny about the old lady! Last night at the Buckeye parade, are old horse fairer dressed up as a Nutcracker and was walking like one was the whole 1&1\2 mile parade! Lisa said it was really funny (:
