now, many of you may not understand this blog, but the people that it is meant for will...let me first say that i am sorry, i was out of line today when i spoke to the choir...i hope that you all can forgive me, and rest assured, i will not be saying much else, anymore......now, even though my actions were wrong, i don't feel that my intentions were in the slightest, ill explain...this choir,this semester, is the choir that i have dreamed of for over the past seven years of my life, i have dreamed of being where i am right now, that is, in an amazing choir with people who love music...this is also my last chance ever to be here, now many of you will go on for many more years singing with copeland or in other amazing choirs, or even teaching amazing choirs, but for me this is it, my life (where choir is concerned) ends here, now...this is probably why i care too much, yes too much...i think that i expect people to care as much as i do, and i know that some people just don't, whether it be because they are too busy (trust me i know how you feel) or because they have just not been affected throughout their life by music as i have(this is not a bad thing, everyone is defferent), regardless, i understand this, and i am sorry...i am sorry for hurting people and most importantly i am sorry if i in anyway, took away the joy of singing for any person, that to me is the worst thing that i could do...so rest assured, it will not happen again, i am deeply, truly sorry...

I must have been asleep in choir, or not paying attention, because I have no clue what you're talking about. However, I do know that "caring about choir too much" doesn't seem to exist. Caring too little, does. Everyone should strive to do their best. I'm one of those people. There are things I could do to better myself chorally, but I don't. And I know I'm not the only one that's this way. So don't feel bad for speaking to the choir. You just want to see this choir be the best it can be. We should all strive for that.
You shouldn't appologize for how you feel. It just isn't right.
Just my two cents.
Hey...it's Lauren D
I know we already talked Delia but i figured since you put your feelings out there i should too. I want to say that i agree completely with Delia in her motives with regards to attitudes in choir. I LOVE singing with all of you. If i didn't i wouldn't be in choir. Because of that i want what's best for all of us, and that's to have positive attitudes about what we as a group can accomplish. This is only possible if we all stick together and stay on the same page. Now i will confess that Choir is not my top priority, i mean let's face it...we're all just trying to get through school here, and have church, jobs, etc... choir is an added bonus to all that, while at the same time carrying responsibility with it. I know that i don't spend as much time as a i should with my music outside of class (probably close to none) but i feel as if i put forth a good effort during class, and that has helped me get by for now. That will probably change in the upcoming months as we prepare for france...but we'll just have to wait and see... anyways i think i went off on a tangent. I will leave with this: We should all feel very honored that Dr. Jordan would give up 6 hours of his time to work with us. Copeland completely trusts Dr. Jordan...he taught him just about everything he knows! Try not to think of this week as just having a substitute conductor, try to think of it as an amazing learning experience. In case some of you don't know...remember that 'only US choir to win the Florilege'? yeah that was directed by Dr. Jordan. He knows his stuff. So please respect what he's teaching us on this final day of rehearsal. If Copeland wants to change it later...he will, don't worry about that. And golly, just have fun with it! remember why we are all in choir...because we love to sing and make music together...once it becomes nitpicky and structured, that's when we start to fall apart, and i for one don't want that to happen. SO i hope you all have a great night, and i look forward to another great rehearsal tomorrow! -Lauren
