Hello,
So as most of you know i am in chorus, and today we sang with the Haverford Celebrantes. let me just say it was something i would have enjoyed missing. To start off no one, not even the boys, knew we were singing together today. We came to chorus and Mrs. S was like, "The boys are here!" and everyone was like "Say whaaaaaat??" We sang one song together with them, and then we sang two songs of our own and they sang three. Theirs were great, even though they barely have any people, they are all phenomonal compared to our larger, but still small chorus. We then sang our two songs. Let me just say that we barely knew either of them. The first one, entitles "A Joyful Gloria" wasnt that bad. We never learned the ending so we juyst skipped to the last page and did the finale. Then came the worst song known to man. "Hello, Girls". Let me just say that this is not the type of song we should be singing around boys. For those of you that dont know the lyrics this is how it goes:
Hello, Girls
Listen to my voice
Don't you ever marry no
Good for nothing boys
If you do your doom shall be
Hoecake hominy and sasafrass tea
fa la la (etc..)
Young boys walking down the street
Yong girls think they look might sweet
Hands in their pockets
Not a dime do the find
Oh how tickled,
Poor girls mine
fa la la (etc..)
When a young man
Falls in love
First its honey
And then turtle dove
After he's married
No such thing,
"Get up get and my breakfast,
You good for nothing thing!"
fa la la (etc..)
As if the lyrics werent bad enough we barely knew the notes either so it ended up sounding like a train wreck and there were parts when no one was even singing and Ms. H, our accompanist was. just playing. After the singing we were given cookies and told to "socialize". Many people knew eachother so they were talking, but about three of us knew no one and we were stuck looking like losers. Also, there was this one 6th grade boy, surrounded by 6th grade girls who were yelling at him saying, "Why havent you sked her out?!" "You should ask her out!" "Why havent you?!" To which he replied, "I dont like her that much..." I was like 6th graders are psychos...
so that was the highlight of my day today
