Have you ever had to make a decision that you weren’t sure how to, but in the end that choice ended up making you really happy? My freshman year of high school I had to make the choice of whether or not I wanted to my in Women’s Choir. The choice was really difficult but once I had decided it made my high school experience so much better. When I first started high school I was absolutely sure that I didn’t want to do choir, but around second semester I really started to miss it. I was already struggling in school and I wasn’t sure if I would have the time to do another extracurricular activity. I already had work, school, and drama practice and I just wasn’t sure if I would have time for Women’s choir. After talking to some of my friends they helped me figure out things like credits, and I worked out how I could fit the class into my schedule. So finally I decided to go talk to the councillor to change my schedule and, join Women’s Choir. After I joined Women’s Choir I faced a few struggles that made me start rethinking my choice. My first struggle was that our group did not get along very well. I mean being it was a group of only girls so it was bound to happen, but it was just way too …show more content…
Women’s Choir gave me a huge social benefit, and helped me find a lot of friends. I wasn’t really social before but after being around all the people I was with it gave me a lot more confidence. By being in Women’s Choir I also improved on my vocals really well and, learned a lot about my voice that I didn’t know. Though I was good before I got even better… Well you know considering this year they decided I was good enough to be in Melody Shop! Overall the most fun thing about being in Women’s Choir was the trip to Minneapolis!!! Not only did we take home first place for almost everything, but we also got to do a lot of other fun

    The event that I decided to go was BYU Baroque Ensemble, a production made by BYU students, taking place at Madsen Recital Hall Harris Fine Arts Center on November 3. The idea of making a baroque orchestra is where musician get together to make a perfect composition of music, the baroque orchestra is made up mostly of stringed instruments, when you listen you feel something different that makes you see it from another perspective, you just can’t stop listening and focus on every note that the musicians are playing. The type of instruments that were utilized in conjunction were the basso continuo, played by a viol, cello or bassoon. Other parts were added between the melody and the bass by a keyboard instrument, usually a harpsichord or organ and the development of tonal harmony, in which the melodic voices movement remains under the functional chord progression.…

    I remember going to the Greater Allan Cathedral when I was a younger teen. I started going there with my family every Sunday to the churches 8:30 a.m. service. Or, if we woke up early enough, the 6:15 a.m. My Father made sure we went to church every Sunday.

    "Good better best, never let it rest, 'till your good is better and your better is best." These simple words were spoken to me by my high school band director Cheldon Williams on the first day of my high school experience. This, followed by my experience of marching band and my eventual learning of piano sparked a period of introspective thought, and mental growth, that transcended to where I am today. Never in my life did I think my hard work and dedication inspired by Mr. Williams words would land me at Interlochen Center for the Performing Arts Boarding School. These words became a core part of what I am, and from freshman year on would encourage me to never set a limit on my potential, and my overall worth.…

    A dilemma that I faced, and still am facing is simply the decision about what I want to do with my life after my high school career. In my freshman year of high school my goal was simply to get through the year in one piece. I was forced to conform to my new environment and all the strict rules that came along with it. Along with that it was the sudden transition from being the "big dogs" as eighth graders at my middle school to being "fresh-meat" in my first year high school. With so much attention placed on me as a freshman like on the varsity basketball team, where I was constantly forced to prove my worth to the coach and the players, to stepping out of my comfort zone and performing in a mandatory play for the rest of the the school as…

    I joined the Chorus and the Vocal Ensemble at the high school and continued to try and better myself as a musician. My music department also offered me other musical opportunities such as festivals. I have attended several festivals such as the Lakes Region music festival and the All New England music festival. These festivals allowed me to come together with other students from different schools that loved singing and performing as much as I did. Every time I perform at one of these festivals I am overwhelmed by how beautiful music can be when everyone I am working with is just as passionate as I am about the work we are doing and also extremely talented.…
