Choir Tour

Branson was such a success!

Premier and two other all girls choirs were put into the mixed choirs category. All together there were thirteen show choirs. Preliminaries were really good for both Spanish Fork choirs. Amassadors went into Semi-Finals in third place and Premier went into Semi-Finals in seventh out of eighth place. During Preliminaries Premier went very first and so we had to do mic check we were also very nervous going into it. Semi-Finals camethe next day and Premier was third to go. We did so much better. I felt more confindent on my solo. It was amazing how well we did. They announced the three finalists around two thirty or so. LIGHT (they are really good friends with us) got in the finals and went first. A group from Plainfield, Indiana got in it too and they went second with Ambassadors going third and last. I help a boy in Ambassadors make his costume changes in time so I was back stage helping them and we all had a shareamony meeting in a way... we can't call them testimonies... and also we were just all talking about this whole last year. When Ambassadors went all of the Premier girls backstage that helped them were screaming their heads off. All of Ambassadors and Premier's hard work over this past year payied off aparently because we did amazing. Premier was the only all girls show choir to make it in Semi-Finals and in one show we went from seventh place to fourth! The choir Jenks got fifth place points wise but the judges liked their presentation more so prefence wise they got fourth place third runners up. Premier got Fourth runners up fifth place. Premier is officialy the best all girls choir in the nation. LIGHT got second runners up third place, Plainfield got first runners up second place, and Ambassadors won Grand Champoins! It was a great expirence.

Here are a couple of pictures I took of the Awards Ceremony.

Wow! Look at the size of those tropheys! We are glad you had a great experience and we're glad you are back home. Now if we can just get you healthy....
Think about this Katy -- if 60% of your group score came from the ballad (your solo), then you must have knocked their socks off! You have lots to be proud of, kiddo.

Thanks! I think that we did amazing for being an all girls group that was dumped into a mixed group.

This is a cool post. Your pictures are great. We prayed that you and your group would do your best, and it looks as though our prayers were answered.
