NATS

So I missed classes on Friday to go to a voice competition YAY. I love competitions and all, but I don't love the competition aspect of it. I'm sure that makes no sense to you, but it does to me and i'm going to try to explain it to you.

Eight girls from my voice studio went together to this, we all go to hear each other and support each other. We all left Thursday night and spent the night in a hotel. The next morning we all drove to Rock Island Illinois to Augustana College for our voice contest. We all followed each other around and heard everyone perform. Later that day they posted who was in the semi- finals. seven out of the eight made it to the semi-final round. We went out to eat together and helped eat other decipher the judges comments to improve for the next day. My favorite part of that night was seeing how non- competitive we all are. We all just help each other. Most of us were in the same division, so technically we were competing against each other, but we never once thought about it. The next day were the semi's. we all did AMAZINGLY well, but only one of us moved into the final round. We all went to support her in the finals, and she won!!!!

I go to these things because I love to perform, not because I like competition.

I love the girls in my studio, and I love doing competitions with them. I couldn't imagine going through these without my girls and Rosemary.
