Peoria
I woke up on a Friday morning at 5:30 A.M. to the sound of my alarm clock and so did about 75 others. Today was the big day we got to go to Peoria for the combined Geneva North and South choir concert. We had to wear our nice blue outfits with our black dress pants.
Eventually they loaded the buses at 6:50 and everyone had mixed emotions. The choir was excited and happy, yet we were tired and nervous. A lot of people slept for some of the ride but not my friends and I, we were watching movies and rocking out to music.

We were so happy and we felt so accomplished, until South's bus kept breaking down. We needed to stop almost every 30 minutes to check them. If that wasn’t bad enough, when we got back to school my sister was late to pick me up, so I had to stand around in the cold waiting for
