Ukelele at Mountsmart Stadium

Sup guys! ^ ^
Just got back from the NZ Kiwilele Ukelele Festival.. Well actually I got back and hour ago but anyway.. (I've been practicing guitar for that other hour XD) That's like.. 8 hours of instrumental practice in one day!!! I feel kinda tired lol XD Anyways.. Mount Smart stadium looks so different with a stage and heaps of stalls and picnic blankets on it! I didn't even realize it was Mt Smart until I was up in the stands! XD I got there at 11:30 when Mrs Kearney got there and got the blanket out and stuff then dad went to get an umbrella and we sat around talking for a bit. Me and Helena talked about stuff and y'know.. talked.. and played uke... and talked some more.. and got an INSANELY EXPENSIVE ($3.00) icecream.. and ate 2 chips... and listened to other schools play the winning songs... and then went up to play our song. And yeah.. On Friday we had our last ukelele practice and I really wanted to go in the front cause you know me XD and anyway Mrs Kearney said one girl couldn't go to the performance and that they needed someone to replace her to sing into the mic and she asked if anyone wanted to and no one put their hand up - And I didn't put my hand up! Why on earth didn't I put my hand up! After that Mrs Kearney chose... wait for it.. Omea?! Anyway.. for the rest of lunch I moaned to Helena about it and then y'know pulled myself together (but not like that time with Jessica *shudder* she's never gonna let me forget about that..) So we went on stage and I was in the back row and then magically there was a spare mic for no particular reason and ...... and ... AAAANNNNDDDDD.... Mrs Kearney asked if anyone knew the words without a sheet and I put my hand up!! :D And I got to sing into the mic and play ukelele with heaps of people watching! And I'm super happy now :) I just got kinda lucky :P oh.. and btw for some reason Omea didn't sing in the front... Dunn Dunnnnnnnn.... After that we like... went onto the stands for the kiwilele concert where we played all the songs out of our book - by then only a few people where left cause Helena left straight after we sang 'Another Story' along with a bunch of other people. I sat next to holly and we waited for ages, the concert was running a whole hour late so it was boring - and then I got really thirsty, and in the distance I could see Izzy starting to eat my chips... And I think Holly freaked out for a sec when I broke my lei LOL When we had finally finished all the songs everybody had left except me, this other girl I don't know the name of.. and omea. Seriously, everybody left, the concert had been on for ages though, but why would you practice so hard on it if you weren't going to do the actual performance? Anyway, Mrs Kearney let me keep the lei! Horrah! I can do.. lei-ish stuff! Yeah.. my victory prize.. A string of plastic flowers even though I already broke the other one... XDD I also have this random badge that says 'I played with the ukes'. It's strange cause for some reason there's this group of people I classify as south aucklanders which all talk like niah and are black (I'm not racist! seriously! I'm just saying...) and are really annoying.. always beat boxing and stuff.. urrgh.. there was a group of them next to us along with the dilworth boys who were dressed in their P.E. gear.. with different colours ^ ^ just like vas! Darnit.. I wish it was like that at R.I. then I could have a special colour and every time it was pe I could wear a coloured hair ribbon.. unless I got blue or red.. that would suck.. I want yellow! So yeah... That's what I did all day.. Also...
IN OTHER NEWS...

***DRAMA QUEEN***

What's shakin' bacon?! .... Sooooo... >:U I can't stop thinking that no one reads this... I need to tell people to go on it more... o3o . At the moment the internet's crashed so I'm typing this in a text editing programme.... 

THE ACTUAL POST:

So lately I've been trying to get into drama groups and all that stuff... at R.I. the drama group is called Starburst performers and the year 8's were in terms 1&2 and year 7's terms 3&4. I'm a year 7 so we've been doing auditions lately, I did mine on Friday. It was really scary! I have a phobia of singing in front of people... I don't know why... I mean... they're just people, and everyone said I sang well... I sang the song Naturally by Selena Gomez and after that we had to read a poem called "Wild Ideas" out of a school journal. Afterwards everyone said that I was shaking like crazy and now I'm worried I'm not going to get in... He probably won't let me in because he thinks I have really bad stage fright... which I don't! I don't mind being on stage (in the dark with the lights shining on me...) I don't feel judged or anything... Sort of... free-ish, I wish that the drama teacher could see that... I bet that heaps of my friends will get in and I'll be really sad when I don't... Helena's definitely going to get in because she is a soloist for choir so she sang on of her choir solos for the auditions... plus that the drama teacher asked her to sing more... she's definitely in! I don't think I am though... But at least I am in one drama group... and I'm the lead! That's gotta be worth something... right? The play for my other drama class I do is called "Snow White and the Other Seven Dwarves"... you can kinda guess what part I am... Lots of my friends are in my drama class as well,  Bella's the cleaning dwarf (with a Yorkshire accent!), Kimberley's Penny-ochio (girl version on Pinnochio) as well as Prince number 3 (I don't kiss her!), Georgia's the Floor Manager (Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to dwarf factor! You're in for a fun packed night tonight!) and Bridget is Doctor Dwarf (all your medical needs taken care of ;) ) My characters are Snow-White, Fairy Dwarf and 70's Dwarf.... I'm kinda worried about 70's dwarf though... Everyone says that Megan and Fiona (teachers) are planning to put me in an afro and have hippy clothes! Plus I have to do a dance routine... I wonder what song..... *shudder* For my fairy dwarf part I just have to walk on stage and walk off, which is easy enough... I just have to remember that I am number 997 (fairy dwarf) and number 1001 (70's dwarf) My costume for fairy dwarf is going to be a tutu or a very long dress and some platform shoes, I'm excited about all of my parts because they all have really cool costumes (I <3 costumes!) Last time I did a play for Act 1 drama class I was the nerd and for my costume I got to wear big harry potter glasses and have my hair curled... That was pretty cool... (It's fun wearing fake glasses!) I'm not sure what I'll look like in my snow white costume though... It's hard to tell... Maybe I'm going to be just normal with a dress on.... I'm not really sure... Megan and Fiona said my snow-white character wasn't as over the top as the other characters, which I sort of understand... Except I think my snow-white voice is pretty OTT how it is... I think we find out next wednesday - friday if we've got into starburst performers... Anyway... I think the internet working again... Bye byyyeeeee!

Wish me luck!

Kids for Kids World Vision Concert 2010

Hi guys! On wednesday night I performed in the kids for kids world vision concert! This is my third choir performance except that I am in a different choir now. I'm now in the choir at R.I. I was going to go into R.I. singers but I had already done it twice and this choir sounded more exciting. I liked it because it was more informal than the APPA concerts and it had songs that were more fun... Like Rockin' Robin! We sang with Suzanne Prentice. She's really nice and funny. She is really good at performing and entertaining people as well as singing :) . I also thought the conductor was really cool and funny except I'm not sure what his name is because I didn't hear properly. On the CD the songs are less exciting but when we got there it was so fun!

Fur Elise

Yes I know your getting tired of this but.... I'm still on Kawau! Today we got out the keyboard I haven't played keyboard in 5 years! Even though I had no idea what I was doing it was fun. I managed to teach myself Fur Elise. Since I was so good at Fur Elise I get to keep the piano! I am quite pleased about that.. heheheheh... gotta go to practise! Here is a little video of me playing fur elise. Sorry the timing's a little bit off but anyway... Enjoy!

Production 3!

Today we saw all the classes items! It was amazing with music... I wish we could see it happen with props, costumes and back drops. That would be awesome! My line was sooooo embarrassing. I was supposed to be a bride.... Who would have known without Reed Daily... I invented that name!!!! Shudder... every one... looking at me... CRYING!!!!!!!!!! 

Choir

I'm in the school choir and am going to a music festival at the end of the year not to mention the visit to the cathedral where I will be singing christmas songs. Every month the choir has a practice the loath on and on and on and on and on and on e.c.t. Afterwards I just want to fall asleep I know what your thinking... I know you want to be in the choir instead of me because I don't appreciate it enough... Well I do! (I hope the PRACTICES pay off!) By the way I have a practice... NEXT WEDNESDAY!!! My favourite song we are singing is called 'The Impossible in Me' and my second favourite song is called 'I'm a Believer'.

Bye!
