Fall Concerts

So I know this isn't posted right after the concerts but I had a pretty busy week. Better late than never huh?

So the theme for our choir concert this year was culture songs from around the world. You know Mrs. Tawa and her themed concerts. ha :) Well Colla Voce sang Scarbrough Fair, two German Brahm songs, Pretty Little Horses, and Cover the World With Love. We sounded great! I love the feeling you get when you perform your music that you worked so hard on. If you've never had this feeling before, I suggest trying it :) We could have been a little bit louder but everyone makes mistakes.

I think the highlight of this concert was when all the choirs got together to perform Michael Jackson's Thriller! We even got to wear zombie costumes which I think just made the song even better! Each choir came on the stage, or in the aisles, dressed and walking like zombies. I hope that we scared some audience members. I think that it went by way too fast though because before I knew it, the song was over.

The next day was the orchestra Halloween concert. I was actually pretty excited for this concert! Since we got to dress up and I didn't want anyone to know what my actual Halloween costume was, I dressed up as a gangster with Ann Dee. We made some pretty great gangsters if I do say so myself :) We started the concert with The Hall of the Mountain King with a strobe light and everything! P.S. I don't like walking and playing the violin with a strobe light thanks.. The other pieces we played were; Autumn, A Little Bit of...Space...Time, Chorale in A Minor, Cruella De Vil, and March to the Scaffold. We sounded great even though some people chose to criticize us. Oh well..

Well the Fall concerts are over, bring on the Christmas music! :)
