"The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear" -- Buddy the Elf
I'll be a bit busy these next two weeks with classes and getting ready for Christmas Break. A few more presentations, a test, and a couple papers later I'll be on the home stretch of finals-airport-home-Taiwan. In spite of all my school stuff though, I will be performing with a few different singing groups in the upcoming days. No one ever understands the different groups I'm in so I'll try my best to explain them...
Handel's Messiah Concert -- This Friday night
Performed by: The Cadet Chorale (pronounced like there are horses around too)
The Academy's official choir. After tryouts the choir has around 50 people, but after grades take out half the freshman, we're around 40 i think. We sing lots of patriotic stuff with Dr. G playing piano. We sing Latin, Spanish, Disney, and N*SYNC. They've recently gone on trips to NYC, LA, Albuquerque, and even Kansas.
Broadmoor Hotel's Annual Hot Wassail Mixer -- Next Friday Afternoon
Performed by: The Academy Singers
The Cadet Chorale's exclusivly acapella component -- with about 14 people, this group is fun. We sing at smaller venues, but we sound a lot better. We've sang at a lot of the Superintendant's parties, Rich business functions, and even old folks homes. The music ranges from doowoopy stuff to (again) latin.
Christmas Celebration at the Academy Oasis -- Next Wednesday
Performed by: The Cadet Vocal Jazz Club
Run by a musically gifted cadet, this club has 8 people and usually sings in 8-part harmonies written by our fearless leader Cadet Mister Jackson. (yep, his first name is Mister). He writes all his own stuff and it blows my mind. Its a new group, but we'll be singing a few holiday performances, then look forward to a Nuggets game National Anthem sometime this season. Exciting.
