candylandHeard this weekend:
Q: What do you call a cow with a twitch?
A: Beef jerky!
*is shot*
Well, this weekend marked the end of a "legacy." My sister competed in the last show choir competition of her high school career. And after trailing after both of us to these competitions for the last seven years, Mom and Dad are finally done with all these road-trips. And Dad is thrilled.
She cried after it was over, as did many, I think. This is not uncommon. After they performed in finals, I went to find a restroom, and spotted her in the hallway, in tears. Went over to give her a hug, she said she didn't want to get her sparkly red lipstick all over my white jacket. So I took my jacket off and glomped her.
She's actually a bit tougher than I am, though. I asked her later, and she said she cried for forty-five minutes or so. After my last competition senior year, I cried from the time we got off-stage to the awards, then was smiling and cheering when I was one of those who got to go collect the trophy (we pretty much swept it, getting Grand Champion and all the caption awards, I think), and then proceeded to bawl all the way home. The entire five-hour bus ride ;_;
They had all but clean sweep. The only one they didn't win was Best Band, and that was probably because they weren't eligible (due to the number of adults in the group). They made finals and went on first, which is a tough spot. But they performed well. They announced Best Choreography--us. Then they announced Best Vocals--us again (which basically meant it belonged to our group). They also won Best Stage Crew (*CHEERS!!*) Tres happiness ^__^
Love ya, Little Sister! I'm proud of you!!
In other news, tonight was jazz choir choreography. -_-;; I'm planning on finishing my dinner, and passing out until tomorrow morning. Really hope I don't have anything due tomorrow in Conducting...
Oh yeah--new fic swap is up on![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
manycases1truth. I might have to chase articulation--possibly with a mop--because I have her challenge request. It might take me a little while to crank out Detective Conan: The Musical, just so everyone knows O_O
