Hello!
I am slowly beginning to freak out. January and February are going to be insanely busy for me. I have a competition in 2 weeks for which I have to memorize 2 scenes from The Importance of Being Earnest and A Streetcar Named Desire, with my beautious partner Ella. I have midterms in 2 weeks. I have to memorize all of my lines for the play that I have to be offbook for in a week (yeah right, like THAT'S going to happen). The play will be occupying all of my nights in the end of February. I'm not getting home everyday until like after 6:30pm, because of practise. Choir is preparing for the spring performance at The Lincoln Center (which was supposed to be Carnegie Hall, grr). I want to join outdoor track in a month or so. My birthday is in 2 weeks.
And meanwhile: I have to engage in daily nonsense in order to keep sane.
I am busy yo.
So yeah, forgive me...
Anyways, today was really cool. The choir teacher let us watch Open Mic after school. Probably because half of choir was performing anyways.
Open Mic is a night where anyone can sign up to get the stage and sing, recite poetry, play an instrument, etc. It's pretty cool. The cafeteria was set up for it. The lights were dimmed besides a spotlight on the performer. The French club was selling crepes.
As with most of these sorts of things, I have to admit that not everyone was an amazing singer or anything. But, the actual performances weren't really what made the night. It was really just the environment, and how sweet the audience was.
Whenever people forgot the lyrics to songs, the audience would just pick it up and sing along, same as when the singer was struggling. One student sang "Somebody To Love" by Queen. During the part in the song where it echoes "Somebody", the audience did the echoes. So it sounded like, "Find me somebody to love, Somebody SOMEBODY Somebody SOMEBODY Can anybody find me, somebody to love". It was awesome.
I hate to be awful, but I found it so incredibly annoying when people got on stage and declared their love for someone. Oh my, I couldn't stand it. Do that on your own time, sweetheart. Seriously.
In conclusion, Open Mic was quite an expierience.
