What would it feel like if you have to perform in a concert three times in one day? Well I recently did that and by the end of the day I sang eighteen songs, played my flute six times and had to listen to twelve more songs during that day. When I got home after all the concerts I had heard enough music for one day. We had a concert in the morning, afternoon and in the evening.
When I just got to school everybody was getting their instruments ready so we could began the concert. First the orchestra played (violin,cello,viola etc.) three songs so we could enter the stage. When the band (woodwind,brass,percussion etc.) played their first song (Spinning Game) all the flutes(including me) had to go stand in front of the audience and play the song by ourselves because we took up most of the song. When we finished that song we sat back down and played a Christmas song that was made out of other Christmas songs. Then the saxophones played their song called "Old Saint Nick".
After band played finished playing their songs everybody had to sing. We sang six songs during that concert. First we sang the national anthem "Star Spangled Banner".Every kid had to stand up and show respect to our flag while we sang the song. Then we sang a round called "Lift Up Your Voices". A round is when parts of a group sing the same song but at different times so no group will sing the same part as an another group.
We sang some random songs and then sang a Christmas song. We sang "Jingle Bell Rock" for our final song.
The next two concerts were the same except on the evening concert we were in front of parents and a lot more people. From this day on I will never join chorus again if it is a choice.
Here is Jingle Bell Rock:
