Christmas Concert

This past Saturday was our Christmas Concert that we have been preparing for for a couple of months. It was awesome, the entire bottom of the church was filled with people. We sang in a really old church that is older than Canada. It was gorgeous and big and the acoustics were just amazing so we sounded amazing. Preparing for this we had a lot of choir practices. Everyone had to be in the choir, and on top of that you could choose to be in an ensemble as well (which students organized). Everyone worked really hard and it turned out great. We sounded great and it was just loads of fun. But the actual concert was so short that many of us want to do it again and are sad that its over already. We even got filmed and it is going to air on TV here in Sweden next year (they don't have enough time for editing to show it this year). We are also in the newspaper, it's really cool. The choir sang a total of 2 songs, one was a "choir piece" that the choir sang on its own which was Come to Us. As well we had a band that played Who Am I, and then the choir joined them to sing Mighty to Save. There were all sorts of ensembles as well being singing and the Everything skit which went really well. There was a small devotion right after the skit. After the concert was over we invited the guests back here to the school for Fika, so we got a chance to meet some people and talk to them, it was a lot of fun.
