GMEA

A few months ago, we got to tryout for something called Honors Chorus, which is what the best singers in the state go to. This year, it was an ALL GIRLS' PARTY!! There was...

Stella
Juliet
Ashlyn
Savanna
Madeline
Katelyn
Lauryn
Jayda
Me
Savannah

at this thing. We sang songs by Andy Beck (who likes clapping and night songs...don't ask) and Nick Page (a guy who didn't write the songs but "arranged" them). As I said, Andy Beck likes clapping. That's why we sang his song: Clap Your Hands: Rejoice!. He also likes night songs, and that's why we sang O Moon! and the other group sang Fireflies. Katelyn even mentioned that the dude liked to clap and sing night songs. For Page, we sang some Handel song, Thanks Be To Thee and Scott Joplin's opera Treemonisha's song We're Going Around. For accompaniment we had a cello dude and an oboe woman. We got to eat for lunch the first day, Steak 'N Shake and for dinner we had Chili's. Yum. We may have gotten a BIT crazy...just saying...

Instrumental

Okay, so I just got into chorus about.....SEPTEMBER! It took me forever to actually think about posting on my blog. What's up with me? Have I forgotten about my blog? I'm sorry it took FOREVER, but now I'm getting back into the groove. So, I'm in the fifth grade which means in music, it's instrument year. I'm getting to do many instrument things:

1. I get to play recorders this year
2. I get to play the glockenspiel in one of our Christmas songs called Ain't That A Rockin'

I get to play the melody on my glockenspiel, and it's awesome sounding! On my recorder, it's just an activity for fifth graders that just teaches us to play the "flute-like thingy" like my friend says.
