Our Time to Shine

The chitter and chatter
is overpowering
the many voices blending together
becoming one
it all goes quiet
then suddenly
from nowhere
a light shines bright
it focuses on the instruments
the shining brass instruments
the glossy wooden ones
the people playing them
are smiling proudly
not showing the jitterys
that are building up inside
with a wave
of the conducters wand
a sweet melody is played
then it gets louder
with more instruments coming in
the song seams to run
around and around
surrounding the audiance
with its sound
then suddenly the wand stops
all is quiet
we take a bow
smiling broadly
the defening clappter
vibrates through the hall
as it dies down
the lights shut off
and the buzz of voices
starts up again

I was excited to read about the shiny brass instruments, as I play a very shiny one. :) From your description of woodwind instruments, I would guess you are in chorus/choir?

Gina said...

...or maybe not, since you labeled this post "Band Conecert", not "Choir Concert".

it was her winter concert tonight. she plays the flute, and is in the chorus also. so it was about her band portian i think.
