APPA Concert

Kia ora, bloggers!

I am back! On Tuesday 26th November night, the APPA school choirs performed at the town hall for real!

All of the conductors were there; Mr Lambert, Miss McGrath & Mrs Mountcastle. All the choir trainers came to watch too. Some teachers from the school came to support us. Ms Sands and Julie came from our school. It was awesome! Hot, too. The town hall has so many seats. On the day of the dress rehearsal, all you could see was mostly empty seats and them on the night there was absolutely no seats empty at all. My mum, dad and little sister, Paige went to come and support me and our school choir. I think we did amazing!

APPA Choir Rehearsal #4 - A's and B's Together for the First Time

Hi everyone! I am back!
Yesterday, the APPA Choirs came together with the B sides and the A sides for the first time! The songs sounded AMAZING!!!
The songs sounded amazing because either the As and Bs each get a different tune or we get a different line. So, whenever the As and Bs sung together, we made an incredible noise!

Our school was hosting the rehearsal, this time, so Miss McGrath, our amazing choir teacher, borrowed Waikowhai Intermediate's school hall. Waikowhai had to set up the chairs for the choirs.
In my opinion, I think that I did really well in the rehearsal.
I think that the As and Bs did quite well with Les Miserable and Rockin' Robin. I think in What About Us?, we needed to work on not sounding like a rattlesnake and pronouncing the Ss really strongly. Mr Lambert fixed that, though, by turning all of the S sounds to Z sounds. I think us as a choir need to work on memorizing the words for Eye of The Tiger.
These were the songs we sang:

Les Miserable Medley
Rockin' Robin
Phantom
Choo Choo Ch Boogie
A Te Tarakihi
Ke Manuia Te Aho
In Winter
The Moon
I'll Be There For You
Eye of The Tiger
What About Us?

I can't wait for the concert on the 26th of November! I hope you enjoyed my blog post. If you have any free time, please leave a comment.
