Choir Competition

I totally forgot to write about this! But on the first day of school, when we went to choir, our teacher told us that we had been chosen as one of the 3 best choirs in Wisconsin. :D

At the end of last year, we made a professional CD to send in, because we are our teachers best group she's ever had, and we wouldn't find out until this year. And finally we found out. We are going to competition January 15. It's a 2 night field trip to Eau Claire, like 4 hours away :) She said we are going to work our butts off, then take a break. We almost got this in 6th grade, but we were not great yet. And now, we are the first middle school to go in our school district. And! This competition is for choirs Kindergarten through college. And the CD they got was 7th grade! Whoooo!

I find this totally amazing from us. Because at the beginning through middle of 6th grade, we were BAD! Like we were getting in trouble everyday, our counselor had to come in to lecture us. Haha. Now our teacher always tells us how proud she is that we turned ourselves back on the right path, because even though we were bad, she knew that we were a great choir.

But yeahh, I can't believe I forgot that. But because of the cost of that, we won't get to go to Chicago for a day like we usually do. We get coach buses and everything for the Eau Claire trip :D I'm so excited.

Dance as though no one is watching you. Love as though you have never been hurt. Sing as though no one can hear you. Live as though heaven is on earth.

I've finally found what life's really about. Hanging on when your hearts had enough, and giving more when you want to give up.

You're lucky you know, right? - Emma

Life is short, Break the Rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that once made you smile.

"Right now, you and me here, put together entirely from atoms, sitting on this round rock with a core of liquid iron held down by this force of this trouble you call gravity, all the while spinning around the sun at 67 thousand miles an hour and whizzing through the Milky Way at 600 thousand miles an hour in a universe that very well may be chasing its own tail at the speed of light.. and amidst all this frantic activity, fully cognizant of our own imminent demise-which is a very pretty way of saying we all know we're going to die-we reach out, to one another, sometimes for the sake of vanity, sometimes for reasons you're not old enough to understand yet, but a lot of the time we just reach out, and expect nothing in return. Isn't that strange? Isn't that weird? Isn't that weird enough?" - Martian Child.
