competition

  
    Last weekend was show choir competition in birmingham. it was so much fun! We left school at 11 and go to birmingham by 2 and ate and shopped for a couple of hours. then we went to the hotel and got our room assignments freshened up and the had a party with another show choir. It was awesome. After the party we all were well a little hyper. We were running up and down the hall and laughing at everything and some people were dancing in front of windows. It was all fun and games until we found out we weren't the only people on our floor. There was one room that was this little old lady and boy was she angry. She came out and yelled at us.
    The next morning I was woken up at 5:45 by one of the moms coming in my room with a line of girls behind her ready to do their hair. lets just say I was not a happy camper, I am not a morning person to begin with. The next two hours were a rush everyone was running around trying to get their hair and makeup done and get dressed and get all of our stuff together and be down in the lobby by 7:30. It was quite stressful.
    Next thing I knew we were on the bus and on our way to Homewood High school. We were there about 8 and had about 2 hours to kill. We watched our competition and then it was time to go to warm u. We started warmup just like any other time we had done it and then it was time for game time. That is when everyone gets in a huddle and the seniors stand in the middle and get us all pumped up by screaming what time is it? game time. It got pretty emotional after that with Mr. Ellis' pep talk. It was our last show with our seniors and it was really sad.
   We did the best we had ever done! We were amazing. We only came in second runner-up... technically 3rd. We got jipped to say the least but at least we had a good time.
    The rest of the weekend was spent with Mary Holliman, Tori, and our moms. It was great times. We laughed so hard. Our moms had bought so much friday night that we had to send some of our stuff home with some people we knew because we couldn't all fit in the car.
    That was such a  great way to end our soundwave year and I cant not wait till another great year of show choir!
