My last concert ever

Tonight was my last professional choir concert. I have been in some sort of choir since middle school and came my way up to the top choir of a university-level. I won't regret any of the experiences I had. Good or bad, it was all memorable in some way. I never imagined myself to be in a top level choir of the university - representing my school at so many conventions and working with renown conductors in the nation. One summer, I ended up England, performing at St. Paul's Cathedral, where Princess Diana got married. Simply being in this choir led to so many opportunities and experiences that I have never dreamed of before!

Before heading out to my last choir concert...

My last song of the concert was called "Twilight" composed by TTU music theory professor Peter Fisher. It is about life and that music is eternal. A perfect ending piece to my last performance on stage. I put all my heart and soul in to this piece. Definitely worth the effort.

I don't know if I may ever be on stage having some sort of professional performance in the future. As far as I know, this seems to be it. It seems bitter to feel this way, but I think this is it. I'll still be doing church choir, so I'm not entirely leaving singing activities.

Perhaps, the one things that really made me sad was that there was no one that I know to witness my last performance. Not that I nagged everyone to come and see me, but I knew no one in that audience. My friends weren't entirely interested in choral music, and they were most likely hanging out with his/her significant other. My boyfriend couldn't come. He just came in 2 weeks ago, and I didn't want him spend his money getting here again just for this concert. My family never had the opportunity to see perform while I was in University Choir. Timing was never right. So yeah, I am very sad the fact that no one that I truly love was able to come witness what could be my last performance. I guess I just wanted to show people how far I came...
