School Chorus Accomplishments

When I was an eighth grader in middle school, I joined IUSD Middle School Honor Orchestra. I played the viola in this orchestra and I was eighth chair violist out of sixteen violists. Many of my friends joined this orchestra and we had a lot of fun. I played different pieces of music with everyone in the orchestra and I learned many new things. Playing music pieces with different people that play different instruments have taught me a lot, and I learned that it is always important to work as a team. Joining this orchestra has given me the better understanding of music and teamwork. After the concert of this orchestra, we had a field trip to California Adventure and I performed there with the group of the first time.This is one of the best experience

The town of Wendell has an Community Chorus with “between 15 and 20 members.” It been around for 6 years and Morningstar Chenven is the director of the chorus. Its featured women, men and their children. She said “We sing a lot of songs from a lot of different traditions.” At the holidays, We sing holiday songs from a lot of different traditions from around the world. Sometimes We sing popular songs, example one being called Happy. Others types being jazz and folk songs.

I almost got kicked from the vocal program. Well, not exactly, but in the moment I felt as if my world was falling apart. Before I knew it, I was in a technical varsity show choir and an on level show choir at the same time. At first I couldn’t handle it all but now it has become second nature with me and I’ve been able to make countless friends doing it.

I am a dedicated and conscientious student in class, and a key member in many extra-curricular activities. As a keen musician, playing violin, trombone and piano, I contribute to a number of musical ensembles in school and played an integral part in the organisation of our school’s summer concert. I am also a member of several local youth orchestras and bands, with whom I have toured abroad many times, most recently to Italy, France and Belgium.

“Introducing Davenport West Connection!!!” This is how every show choir performance for west connection members starts no matter what the year. Show choir is one of the most fun activities I have ever taken part in. From back in 8th grade Williams Intermediate Show Choir, to now in Davenport West Connection I have loved every minute of it. The people, hair and makeup, performing onstage, and even the practices were full of fun and laughter. Throughout 8th grade to now there is an enormous difference between high school show choir, and middle school show choir causing one to exceed the other. The practice and rehearsals, fundamentals of the performance, and competitions widely contrast one another yet have surprising comparisons which contribute

“You made the honor roll I am so proud of you.” I looked at my my mother excitedly as she was reaching in for a generous and happy hug. I took a deep breath and found out that was the day I figured out that I can actually accomplish things. Every morning I would wake up go to school and try my hardest to do my work in school and I knew that if I kept my grades up I could play volleyball. By keeping my good grades and continuing my volleyball career that is when I got and award for most valuable player. So you can see that if I could accomplish one thing if I put my mind to it and accomplish another.

I just want to take this essay to reflect on my life for the past year. Well its November eighteenth,my birthday, today I turn 19. This time last year, I was a high school senior with a dislocated knee and dislocated patella. I didn't know what I was going to do for college. I was going to play football at Itawamba Community College but my doctor said that it was a 95% chance that I was going to hurt my knee again and when I do I would never play again. I was already going to have to get a knee replacement when I turn twenty five so i just decided to throw away my football career. My mom encouraged me to audition for the Ole Miss symphony but I was reluctant at first because violin had always been my secret side. I decided to send in a video

On August 28th, my mother chanted so loud that I could hear her from outside of the house and I ran as fast as a cheetah trying to catch its prey because, after all, it was my goal worth chasing. I read the letter calmly, then jumped up, and touched the ceiling. “We hereby announce that Eugenia Trakal has been selected to participate in the EVYS Concert Orchestra.” My tears fell to the ground, my dad picked me up, and threw as high as the sky. My family was vastly proud of me and, in my perspective, hard work really does pay off and the only way you succeed is to first feel confused but then start committing and striving for what you

The most important activity I have done in my high school career is chorus. During school hours, we spend time preparing for concerts, and outside of school we have rehearsals, performances, extracurricular choirs, and concert tours in which we devote much of our time.

Choir, a place where there is either unified success or widespread failure. Experiencing choir for the last four years of high school, it has taught me great life lessons, both challenging and heartbreaking. Our class everyday consists of sight reading, learning a new song that is sometimes in another language, and trying to beat out the other variety of girls that fill the black risers that are wearing thin due to age.

Does it ever feel like you’re swimming in homework? That’s why there’s study hall, right? Wouldn’t it be hard to finish all your homework without study hall? Well, if you are in band and chorus, you don’t get a study hall! I feel like band and chorus students deserve a study hall.

I am proud of my leadership in the Fayetteville-Cumberland Youth Council (FCYC) and improvement in my piano performance skills. I joined my FCYC in sophomore year and quickly became immersed, from leading the entertainment committee for the State Youth Conference, to combating Hurricane Matthew by assisting my youth council organize food drives for those who were not as fortunate. Additionally, I started to play the piano in 6th grade, but treated music as a chore. For a year and a half I didn’t get near the level of piano advancement I should of been at. In 8th grade, I made a goal for myself that I would prioritize piano by putting my feelings into the music I play. Although the joy I got of this is immeasurable, evidence of my growth was

I started my piano duet competition at the at the age of 10. When my partner and I performed, I think about why I am playing piano. I ruminate why I keep going and not stopping. At that moment, I knew what I done to build up my accomplishments. It was a major part in my life and it was important as well.

I went to my sister’s high school choir concert. I went in expecting them to be terrible but I was pleasantly surprised. There were several different choirs and they sang a range of Christmas songs. Some were definitely better than others but they were all decent. The choir teacher chose a lot of songs in other languages. Some of those languages included were Latin, Spanish, Swahili, and Hebrew. The sound quality of the venue was fairly good and most of the singers were also good but some of the boys especially were going through puberty and it was noticeable. There were also several different styles of music. There was a lot of jazz and several covers of Christmas songs with a jazz twist. There was also some gospel, but the rest of the songs were the standard Christmas songs. I enjoyed many of the songs, but I didn’t favor the ones in different languages. Also, I prefer rock or pop concerts to a high school Christmas concert, but it was still good.

Through my musical pursuits, I’ve had multitudinous opportunities to travel all across the world and the states, and associate with many accomplished and dominant people in various areas. I’ve been able to achieve better grades in school and build more confidence in
