All-State choir!

All-State choir is an amazing thing! Why in fact, if you make it three years in a row you get a special award, and if you make it all through highschool then usually you have a better chance of scholarships! But All-State choir is a choir, with all the state of Oklahoma (or any state...)! People come from all over to audition on songs that they were given in advance. You are given a cut time and then you perform behind a curtain to some judges. We had 3 pieces that we needed to know. If you make it past the first round then you go to second round, where you do the process again but with different cut times. If you make it. Which is pretty lucky, you then are given more music 5-6 songs to learn. You then go to a hotel and sing in a small group (2 soprano 1's, 2 soprano 2's, 2 alto 1's, 2 alto 2's) and you preform parts of the song. If you don't know the music you are sent home. Then for the next 2 days. You practice like CRAZY!! Like 5 hours and then a break for lunch, and then another 5 hours.  But you get to stay at nice hotels and stuff too! Then on the third day, you go to a church or something like that where you perform.  It is a lot of fun! But it sure makes you tired(: I hope I make it next year!!
