Concert Review

Thoughts for today from Amber...

That was pretty great, faithful readers. The sound was, for the most part, fantastic. Tears were shared and hugs did flow, especially during the last song, Benediction. Much love to all the seniors I'll miss, and (you guys know I have to do it at least one more time) ALTO POWER FOREVER!!!

Spring Concert

Thoughts for today from Amber...

Hello again, my faithful readers! Tonight I log on to share the news of tonight's GHS Spring Choir Concert. It is our last concert of the year, and will feature each of the three choirs--Rhapsody, Jade, and Singsations--as well as a few solos in between--one by Allie Ochs, and another by yours truly!--and even a special Senior Song (it'll be Bon Jovi's Livin' On a Prayer, if you want to know). My song is The Impossible Dream, from the musical Man of La Mancha (which is based on Cervantes' classic novel, Don Quixote de la Mancha).

I'm so excited, faithful readers! Wish me luck, and hopefully I'll blog again later to tell how it went.

Academic Team Luck

Thoughts for today from Amber...

Woohoo! So tonight at Whiteland High School, GHS is competing in their third academic team meet. Competition categories include Science, Math, English, History, Arts, and Interdisciplinary. I don't know much about the other categories, but since my dad (Mr. Perry) coaches the Science team, I know that they came in second for the first meet, and won last time.

C'mon, Woodmen! Let's kick some academic butt!

No explanation required. This is fantastic.

How To Make a Sandwich

Thoughts for today from Amber...

Okay, so I've not actually overcome the writer's block yet, but I found a video segment that I made for my Broadcast class that I think you'll enjoy. By the by, the reason it says "WAM" at the end is because the name of our Broadcast team is "Woodmen A.M."

I should also note that the actor in this segment is my dear little brother, Austin Perry. He's nine and kind of a diva, as actors go. Cute, though, right?

Writer's Block

Thoughts for today from Amber...

Okay, this is bad.
Very, very bad.
I actually don't know what to write.
I'm freaking out over here, my dear readers!
I mean, I can't get writer's block. I just can't. I'm The Writer. Seriously, that's how I define myself! What am I supposed to do if I can't think of what to write?!

I'm just gonna go sulk for awhile.

Cabaret

Thoughts for today from Amber...

Wow, it's been quite a while since I posted! Let's see. Tonight is the school's annual talent show, Cabaret. My dad (the school's Chem/Physics teacher) is going to be performing, though I was rejected. Not that I'm bitter. Or even remotely upset. Nope. Totally calm over here.

Okay, so maybe it bugs me a little. Still, I'm not going to obsess about it. I got that over with the night the list (without my name) got posted. Tonight I'm just going to watch the show, and it's going to be awesome, I'm sure. :)

Anyway, I don't know everybody who's going to perform, but I'll see who all I can remember. Hannah Miller. Mr. Williams (the English teacher) and Katie Karr are doing a duet. Ummm... Haley Boland. Luke Garrigus (sorry if I spelled that wrong!). I think Nathan Sheryak is doing something... If I remember, I'll post again later tonight or tomorrow and update who all was actually there. Till then--bye!
