PMEA District Chorus Day 2

This is where all the fun began.

So we learned pretty early on that the directors knew who was into Regionals.  However, there was some confusion with the dates, so they couldn't finalize the lists.  Likewise, they couldn't make an official announcement.  So it was a matter of nagging the directors.

Eventually, we tied down Mr. B long enough for him to tell us the results.

And I couldn't believe what I heard.  I had tied for second chair among first tenors.  I had not only gotten into regionals, but I was among the best tenor ones there!  I wasn't the person who only got in because we were the hosts, I was now the person who was a serious contender to do well in the next rounds!

And, QV as a whole did extremely well!  Out of 14 people who did District Chorus, 9 are into Regionals (KM, HS, RS, RS, RH, KD, JR, JD, and myself), and 2 more might get in depending on how this date thing works out (SF and RG).  To top it off, JD and RS both got first chair in their section!  Last year we only got five people into Districts!  Now we have nine people going to regionals!

Now to the actual rehearsal...

Amazing.  Phenomenal.  So much fun.  I don't want to go to regionals because it proves I can sing, I want to go to regionals because it means I get to do all of this again.  Mr. C clearly loves the tenor section, but that doesn't even matter.  He's so energetic, and knows what he is doing.

And everybody sounds really good!  This is going to be one of the best shows I have ever been in, maybe the best.

I love all the pieces now.  There is not a single piece that I am tired of.  Of the pieces that when rehearsing alone I thought weren't going to be so good, all my doubts have been proven wrong.  We could have put on a pretty good show tonight.  Tomorrow's going to be even better.

I am so excited for tomorrow.  You have no idea!
