The Messiah: I want to sing in a performance of The Messiah at Christmastime. However, at church, I have been informed that I will be singing "Comfort Ye My People" and "Every Valley Shall Be Exalted" which segues into the choir singing "And The Glory Of The Lord." Oi. And of course, my dad wants me to sing the hardest two solos in the whole thing. Sigh. They have high Gs all over the place, and I'm just not excited. Tar: In Chamber Choir, the smell of the tar from the reroofing is really doing my throat in. All-State Auditions: They are in November, and I need to learn how to hit a high G. I'm sure I'll have plenty of practice with that. (see The Messiah) But at least we're singing my favorite of the audition piece this year. Work: The kids just don't listen to me. It's frustrating. It'll get better.
