So I have not been planning on doing choir next year. Mostly because I don't have time for Choralette performances and finals and in general, I basically just don't like the class. But today I was talking with Auna who was really sad I'm not doing Arapahoe Singers, let alone not doing choir at all. And I had a concert today in which I had to watch the Singers at Powell, and I just remember being one of those scary little eighth graders... wishing I was in that group.
Well, I am not taking Singers, because to do that, I also have to take another choir class. Which means 6 hrs of choir with Choralettes and a million performances, or 7 with Concert Choir. I do not have time for that next year. And I don't want a million performances. (not to mention 9 out of 17 are Mormons this year. Yea, that could cause some fights...)
I have always wanted to do Concert Choir. Suddenly I find myself almost wanting to try out for it. But then there's the nagging fear of not making it, I mean have you heard the girls in that choir? They are amazing. And then most of me just doesn't really care at all at this point.
So, I am leaving it up for a majority vote. Try out for Concert Choir? Or no?
(oh and i need to know, like by tomorrow.)

All they can say is no.
Personal anecdote time: I tried to drop orchestra sophomore year and that definitely lasted a week before I switched back in. I thought I had hated it, but I had to get out of the class to realize that even if I didn't love it, I sure did miss it.
There might be a million performances, but if you really want to do it, then it'll be worth it in the end. And so what if there are Mormons there? Having more non-Christians around only means you have a better chance to let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
What I think: what do you have to lose by trying out? If you make it, yay. It'll be a chance for you to be a part of something you have always wanted to do, and God might give you some great opportunities, relationship-wise. If you don't make it, then you're free to do other things, and the pressure's off. Looks like a win-win situation to me.
oh my gosh! i can't believe someone removed their comment! i mean, I never get comments on this site and they go and delete it? What is up with that?
no, unacceptable! Put it back up! I want to read it! (please...)
I think it was Austin, and he got click happy and posted twice. Look at the times on his post and the deleted one.
