Choir

Chrisney’s legs weakened. No matter how she tried not to hear, that sexy, baritone, lose your mind, body, and soul and live with the regret voice could not be denied. She cried even harder. She did not want to hear him, feel him. He was the last person she wanted in her face. As she backed away, the firmness of the body she bumped into shocked her. She hadn’t realized anyone else had entered the room. “I’m sorry,” she said into the air. Still behind her, the nurse patted Chrisney’s shoulder…

my life that were not clear before. Due to this moment, I now strongly believe in the power of spotlight. I am a member of the varsity show choir group called Express at my school. Being apart of this group has allowed me to experience an abundance of new things in different places. One particular experience that impacted me took place on a show choir trip to New York. This competition held a significant amount of importance because the event was a long ways…

It all began in the 6th grade. There I was, casually walking through the hallways, oblivious to what was about to happen. As I turned a corner, a brightly colored flyer caught my attention. On it were the words, “CHOIR TRYOUTS--DISCOVER YOUR PASSION FOR SINGING.” The next few moments could only be described as my personal “aha-moment.” I was immediately struck with a surge of excitement that carried on throughout the rest of the day. When I got home, I rushed to tell my mother about the flyer.…

immigrated from the West Indies after living in poverty most of their life. Now living in Brooklyn, she has a better life and access to a great education. After about a month of music lessons, Asia was questioning whether or not she wanted to continue with choir because, although she loved music, she had crippling stage fright. Funnily enough, I was in her same exact position as a seventh grader. I told her it was possible to overcome it, sharing my similar experience with her on how I had…

also had some low points. The basses had a good deep and dark sound like you want for many of our male singers to achieve. Their vowels were outstanding just like they always are. The sound pyramid was in great effect in this performance. Wingate’s choir used articulation to their advantage when they were forming their vowels before the downbeat. The formation they decided to use was actually kinda cool by putting the guys in the back and the girls in the front, as it made the sound mix very…

On November 5,2016 Olney Central College’s music department held its fall concert in the Dr. John D. Stull Performing Arts Center. This concert featured many vocalists and musicians between the concert band, the concert choir, and the jazz band. The performances feature many different composers. Overall, the concert band sounded really good. For this concert, the director chose songs that would reflect different stages of life. I liked this theme and the song choices just for how the rhythms,…

despite the words , he attempts to stand and nearly topples over . what stops him from meeting the ground helmet first ( again ) is the strong grip of his fellow ranger . zack teeters , inhaling a breath that makes his lungs sound like a choir of miracaas . “ we’re not through yet , s ” zack’s gripping onto his arm with a vice-like grip as the words DONT MOVE are repeated , but with an addition of black to the end . it’s always serious when the color…

The Fall Concert was held at Our Lady Queen of Angles Church, Newport Beach, and many different choirs had the amazing opportunity to show the audience what they have learned and how well they can sing. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend the first concert, which made me somber because I missed the first performance with my lovely choir, Vivace. Luckily, I heard many positive remarks about how fun it was and how well they sing, which makes me excited to sing in the Madrigal Feast and…

“Simple peck-order bullying is only the beginning of the kind of hierarchical behavior that can lead to racism, sexism, ethnocentrism, classism, and all the other 'isms' that cause so much suffering in the world.” Octavia E. Butler. Everyone needs their “place” in society: leader, hunter, builder, or even follower and securing a place in society can often lead to conflict. The need for hierarchy is evident all throughout Lord of the Flies, a novel by William Golding about a group of British boys…
