Chior tour!

This long awaited choir/band tour post is going to take a long time, i have feeling. So maybe I'll just have to do it in two separate posts, or I'll just condense it like crazy!! For your benefit, I'll do the latter. We went to Provo the first day and St. George the rest of the days. thus-Sun. here we go! PS- this whole time i had a cold and without medication 24-7 i would've died!



Day 1

we loaded the bus at 7:00 am and set off for Provo. a couple of my friends went, but they were mainly Jr.'s that i knew. One of my really close friends went though (shaundra). I'll do the activities in bullet form, so you can just quickly scan through them.

• improve clinic at BYU, taught by a hilarious man.


• the BYU choir conducter (a professional) listened to us sing and helped us.


• wandered the campus, then checked into our hotel.


• me and my friend watched a funny movie in our room


• got dressed up for dinner at sizzlers


• Went straight to Hale Theatre where we saw the play "Cash on Delivery". it was a way funny play with a crazy confusing plot. the kids i was sitting with were fun too.


• went to hotel and went to bed.

Day 2-Friday

• woke up early and drove to St. George.


• went to a high school there, where we each heard each other sing/play a few songs. then mingled for about 15 minutes.


• checked into hotels
• at 5:00 we had dinner at golden corral then went back to the high school.
• at the school we met up with the choir and band kids there and had a party. there was a live band playing old rock music, and everyone was dancing. in another room rockband, wii, and other games were set up. in another room "enchanted" was playing. we just kind of wandered between the two fun rooms. IT WAS A BLAST!
• went to hotel and went to bed.

day 3-Saturday

• woke up and toured the outdoor Tuacahn theatre. It was really cool. we got to see backstage and costume rooms and all the secret things. Since there is no backdrop to run behind, you can't get from one side of the stage to the other without being seen. So there is an underground tunnel that gets you to the opposite side of the stage. It reminded me of the Phantom of the opera tunnel. it was very interesting.
• Then we went to a red rock park and were free to do whatever. there were red rocks all over that we were climbing on. it was really cool, but my friends were a little too hard-core for me, so i stayed behind with another Friend of mine who wore the wrong shoes. We talked and caught up on each other's lives. it was really fun.
• then we had all you can eat pizza.
• we went to a place where you could play miniature golfing, bumper boats, batting cages, arcade and go kart racing. that was really fun. We just go karted and did the arcade the whole time. it was a blast. Me and my friend laughed so hard we nearly wet ourselves. it was awesome.
• then we went back to our hotels and went to bed.

Day 4-Sunday

• we woke up and drove home.
• The only problem was that one of my friends got really bad sick on the way home. She was SUPER cold, even though we had every single one of our coats on her. She was dizzy and had a horrible tummy-ache. she was basically writhing in pain. While we were at a lunch stop she got a blessing and a few minutes after she went straight to sleep and slept the whole time.

It was way fun but I was so glad to be home. I learned that obnoxious choir kids mixed with weird band geeks makes interesting company. I saw some sides of friends that i never saw before. Two boys in particular turned out to be a lot more dirty minded and immature than i thought. But then we (shaundra and i) met two other boys who turned out to be way fun.

So with fun activities, super hyper nights in the hotel, and funny movies on the bus, there was never a dull moment. It was really fun! other than the choir kids singing CONSTANTLY and usually only 3 different songs: "I want to start a fight", "Hot and cold", and another that i didn't know. oh, and perverted boys. but other than that it was a great experience.

sorry it was so long. i could've gone one forever. Sorry there were no pictures. bye!

Play pictures

I'm too lazy to write about chior tour now, so i'll just put on lots of pictures. There are a lot to choose from, so bear with me if there are tons.

The first scene i'm in, Iowa stubborn. I'm usually pestering a girl who stands next to me, but she wasn't there that day.

This is in the trouble song while Harold Hill is telling us our kids are in trouble.
This is me and my "boyfriend" Tommy.

This is us dancing in the Library scene.

Library also







This is the picture where he gets really close. This night though, Tommy accidentally skipped most of our lines in this scene. but at least Mr. Shinn came in on time!

This is my "family" in Wells Fargo Wagon.

This is our whole cast in Wells Fargo.


I have to wear a microphone. The mic tape hurts SO BAD to take off. there is one piece on my cheek by my hair line, there is a bit behind my hear, and another lower on my neck. My eyes almost start watering when i take it off. OUCK!!
This is the shipoopi dance, when marcellus is singing and dancing. (we are bouncing)

We are dancing the Shipoopi dance here.

This is when my "dad" catches me and tommy holding hands after the shipoopi dance.

I'm standing up to my dad right now, because he insulted Tommy. this picture is right after the one before.

This is our amazing band. Don't they look so dashing in uniform? I wish you could hear it, they sound horrible (on purpose) but all the parents are gogging over their kids. it's pretty funny.

This is my favorite dress. if you look in the pictures above there is a better shot of it. It is so puffy! i feel like a hot pink cupcake. it's so fun.

Well, That's pretty much it. Those are the best pictures from each scene. Maybe dad will get some live footage next time. That would be fun. Well, tah tah!
