Nationals Choir

You, Elizabeth and Courtney all stood right beside each other :D

Okay. :D I was wondering if she was the same Elizabeth you said I was standing next to. =D

How do you register if you want to be a narrator? I think that that would be fun!

How do you register if you want to be a narrator? I think that that would be fun!

Agreed! I think I will try IF I am old enough :)!!!!

I think so, according to the master schedule up on the Nationals events page. Mr. Kenniv will probably be sending out an email sometime.

@Daniel: I am not sure how to register as a narrator, or if that is possible. Last year only Mr. Kenniv's son and GraceAnn Westfahl were narrators.

Are you going to be in the choir this year, Matthew? I'd really like, though my parents like us to not have to much stuff going on when we're trying to study for Bible Bee…..

Definitely, I wouldn't miss it! It's been a great experience every year I've been.

That's great! Could I sign up to be a tenor? Or not, since you say that girls don't sing tenor?

Well, I guess you could ask Mr. Kenniv to see what he says. It might be somewhat strange to have a girl among all those men singing tenor with them. :P

Well, I think it's worth a shot, if you think your tenor voice is good enough.

Matthew, you have an awesome way of making me not want to do certain things anymore…. JK

I don't know what you mean.

That comment was because I didn't know what to make of your comment saying " if you think your tenor voice is good enough." It just seemed a little….weird, I guess….

It was all meant in fun though :)

(BTW, I left you a comment on the Music forum)

Sorry! I said that because you were telling me about your terrible voice in the soprano and alto range. :) I wasn't joking about the tenor though - if you want to try it out, there's nothing holding you back!

Oh, okay :) Well, I'd have to get my parent's permission first :)

If you're allowed, you should definitely do it!! I was pretty unsure about doing it last year, but I'm so glad I did. It was awesome :) And I just decided last minute, so I didn't practice for it at all until the dress rehearsal thing :P

I really want to!

So the choir is from 3:30 to 4:30, right?
YES! It's on my birthday and so is the MV meeting and so is the Opening Ceremony and the actual tests (which I am not looking forward to one bit)
@Matthew: Do you know how many, if any, Primaries dropped out who ranked above #17? Because, if like 6 or something did, then I would have a good chance at making Semis! It would be such a dissappointment not to make Semis… and find out on my birthday!
Sorry I keep talking about my birthday… I just can't stop bragging!

:D

@Hannah: Funny you asked me… I have actually been keeping pretty close track of those things. It's just one of those weird things I like to do. :P Anyway, two Primaries dropped out who were in the top 15. Regardless though, since you scored as high as you did I'd say you have a good chance even if none of those above you dropped out. All you have to do is work really really hard. :)

I am so excited to audition! Who else is auditioning? I'm auditioning for the orchestra, not the choir.

What would you be playing? I'm afraid I won't be auditioning, I only play piano, and I think if they heard my voice they would stress themselves out trying to think of a nice way to tell me that they don't need me.

That's so cool! I've always wanted to try out for the choir, but I haven't had time : / What instrument do you play?

I'm auditioning as a soprano!

What did you have to do to audition? :)

Email Mr. Kenniv, and he'll send you instructions. I think you have to send a video to him.

Okay, thanks! I might audition for something…maybe :)

Go for it! It won't hurt anything to try!!! :D

Lol, I know :D But we'll just see how much time I have… :)

@Priscilla - I play piano and violin and sing but I'm not going to sing. I'd rather audition for the orchestra.

I'm doing it! I love singing in this choir, it's always a blast! :)

Can you audition for the orchestra?

I wish I could audition for the orchestra on my harp… that would be SOOO fun, but… I don't think I am good enough at it, and I don't know if they need a harpist anyways. :-P

You should try :)!

I don't know… maybe I should wait until I either don't make it, or am too old to compete, so I won't be studying at the same time. :-)

How do you audition?

Thanks :)!

Do you have to audition? Or can you do the "walk in" thingy like last year?

I think you have to… :( He said there was less room on the stage so not everyone could do it this year :(

I heard that Semis and finals will be held in a different room. Is that correct?

@Emily: We did record auditions a couple of days ago, but then our mom reminded us that we were supposed to say certain things at the beginning of the video, like our name and general experience. So we need to do it over, but we haven't gotten to it yet. :P

Okay. I forgot to say stuff at the beginning too, so I'll have to redo mine as well :P

I don't know, I haven't heard/read anything about that….

We just did ours today! (Singing 2 Cor 5:20-21)

Is you're a video, or on youtube, like Leah's is?

It's a video on dropbox…I think you have to have an account to see it. (we set an account up specifically for this:P)

I actually do have an account on there….got it a while ago, that way our family could easily share things with one another :)

Okay cool! I'll see if I can send it to you then :D

How do you audition with instruments? Me and my sister are interested :)!

Isn't it annoying that when you are about to audition for singing you get a cold? It's soooo much fun sarcasm!

Ohhh, that's awful! :( You have to email Dr. Kenniv and tell him you're interesting in auditioning and he'll send you details. I think the deadline is in a couple days though!!
