Today, we had choir competitions. Not really competitions, you dont get a "Place" amongst others, we just call it a competition for psychological reasons... but, thats a secret!
Anyways, we go sing (in our choir) in front of a judge, and they give us a score of 1+ to 5.
It pretty much goes like this:
+1, 1, 1- = Superior
2+, 2, 2- = Excellent
3+, 3, 3- = Good
4+, 4, 4- = Fair (as in, you pretty much suck, give up now)
and 5 = Poor. They never really give you this score... poor is: You stood up, sang a single note, and ran off the stage (as a group) crying.
The H20ville Mens Choir got a 1-, and the women got a 1!
Relatively the same scores as last year, since were that great.
A group I would like to acknowledge is Pateros Middle/High school choir, who did an amazing job as well, their entire performance kept everyone in the audience (mainly Waterville, most people had left since it was so late in the day, and the group prior never showed up... leaving the auditorium empty for 15 minutes).
Other events we attend:
Band "Competition" as well, in about a week, and later in the month, we have a Choral Choir event (Women and men singing together), and in May, our parade.
Edit: Pieces the guys sang, Down in the Valley (old folk song) and Loche Lomond (Scottish Folk Song)
We do a lot of uncommon pieces... we dont like people to hear repeats of things.
