i think singing is a good career, if you are good at it
while the work is very unpredictable, think about the people who have made millions off of it
your best bet is to go on broadway or something like that to start out with, so you get a steady paycheck, then when the time comes, go out on your own and see what you can do
i understand where you are coming from with college... and unfortunately, (me being older), it doesnt get any better, in fact, the feeling gets worse
and i think you should conduct a piece of music at a concert, my band director let people do that, but it was primarally pieces that they had wrote, so basically, write a song, or rearrange a song, then get the chorus to sing it, then get doyle to let you conduct it
i actually thought about writing my own chorus piece...i really did. i mean i got into writing my own music, even though its not going well at all..lol. and i think chorus music may be a bit easier for me because i do more classical than anything else. but i'm willing to experiment. though..i have lost any will to do anything lately..anywho. i think you should ask doyle, see what he says. he might let you your senior year

i think that the music we're doing now is definately harder than when we started this year.....but i don't like most of it....it 's just boring. i like the french piece (surprisingly, because of my personal vendetta against all things french..well that's an overstate ment..YOU GET IT!)..and..i like Frostiana pieces....and i think that's all (i'm not sure cuz my music would be at school). but we don't do anything big and awesome like they do at honors chorus or all-state, i thoroughly enjoy those times of year. newho.. he already told us that we juniors who will be considered "honors chorale" next year will have to conduct a piece...but before i knew that i wanted to ask him if i could. I have a few in mind...like a Britten or Gorezki.. or Rorem....i can't decide what i would want to do cuz doyle has all my music from GS

you care..but that doesn't mean YOU try all the time. and its high school, a lot of people are going to have some apathy, wherever you go. you need to grow up and stop how everyone needs to be better the meet your needs. i am not entirely convinced you are taking things 100% seriously. your heart is in to it...but not the effort, completely anyway. If you were completely dedicated i think you would get over the fact that you don't get to sing everything you love 100% of the time and you would maybe be a little more open, because the songs we sing are awesome, and i have yet to hear you say about a concert, i like most of the music. and i really dont' care if you dont' like the music, but don't be bitchin about it all the time, because I HAPPEN TO LIKE The music, and when you say stuff like i want to kill this composer...and this composer was nuts, and i hate this song, and i hate this composer, this is stupid..the list goes on...it ruins the effect for me. if you hate chorus so much, then do something about it. i am proud of our
