do re mi fa so la ti do

i decided recently that i wanted to sing again. after watching dave's performance last semester i realized how much i missed singing with a large chorus group. i enacted a protective mechanism by not practicing or really looking for a group to sing with... i figured if i couldn't sing with dave's group it was just going to be too much effort to find and join a different group. that was until i started working at SFSU and learned that they have a few different choral groups and they meet on campus on the same days i am already working.

so, before i announce which group i'll be in, i want to mention here what a huge thing it was for me to even audition. i sang a lot in high school, as some of you know (i went to the san diego school for creative and performing arts for 5 years and many of my friends who went there are professionals now), but i had not heard myself really sing for almost 10 years. i was VERY nervous, that may even be an understatement. however, i made myself do it... and now i'm in the Women's Chorus! :) i would be a little more proud if it wasn't the lowest group, but considering i had not sang in 10 years and i forgot how to sight read, what did i expect!? plus, i decided to focus on 2 other things... 1) i auditioned. go me! and 2) it is going to feel so good to sing again. yay.
