Graduation Speech: All-State Honor

2124 Words9 Pages

The previous years I had tried our for Opus, an honor choir for 7th-9th graders. But this year, I had taken a leap, and decided to do All-State. All-State is an honor choir for 9th-12th, grade but our school doesn’t let you audition until sophomore year. This was a big change for me, and I’m about to tell you more.
When I had found out about All-State choir tryouts, I also did find a scholarship opportunity sponsored by the Central High School Music Boosters. My friends, who were pestering me like rats trying to get to the last piece of cheese, told me that I should audition for All-State choir and go to the summer camp. Well, of course I had to look into the camp, because if all of your other friends are going to it then you should too… Right? With my eyes boggling out of my face, I had …show more content…

The problem was that we couldn’t figure out which weekend would be better for everybody to come. This person saw that the second session worked, for all of the Central students auditioning for All State Camp. BOOM! the summer flew by and we were then slithering like snakes towards August 8th when the camp had been scheduled to begin. Once I realized it was coming up, I was back to panicking. Do I have everything that I need for camp?, I kept repeating, over and over in my head, like an old, broken record player, stuck on the same track. I had my clothes packed, my music for camp, but what else did I need at this point? They recommended fans, since there wasn’t any air conditioning. I decided to spam my room-mate Maria with texts. I had a fan that was able to move around. I also had gathered snacks, because what roomie wouldn’t bring a ton of snacks?... oh wait mine. I had brought gummy worms, cheese-its, popcorn; it was enough to feed the whole town. I had also brought Arnold Palmer drinks (half tea, half lemonade; if you didn’t already know so) and water; since we were going to be singing for hours upon hours for several

Some kids on the same truck as me told me that the purpose of this camp was to weaken and kill jews so we couldn 't start a rebellion. This gave me the chills and i knew i wouldn 't make it out. If it weren’t for the other six people in my bed alone i would cry myself to sleep but that would get everyone in trouble. There haven’t been many new arrivals since we’ve gotten here.

One of my tasks while volunteering for YMCA California was making decisions on the layout and type of activities available during camp, thereby helping ensure that everything ran smoothly. As well as making sure health and safety regulations were kept in line and other factors were addressed. To make this decision I reviewed the range of options available in terms of budget, existing activities, what other YMCA workers were trained to do in terms of specialist activities. I also gathered information from the YMCA Youth members and other sources to see what is currently in the public’s interest. I considered and developed a provisional layout and itinerary and then review any decisions made.

Context and environment greatly impact the campers’ occupations, occupational risk, and social and mental well-being. While the film is primarily set in the context and environment of summer camp, the viewer can deduce what life was like for the teenagers when they were at home for the school year based on their anecdotes, even though it is not shown. When the campers are at Camp Jened, they report on how much happier they are. Some said it was comparable to Woodstock and described it as a “utopia” where there was no outside world. The campers are interacting with other teenagers their age and with similar back stories, but in the end “teenagers could be teenagers”.

Yesterday, we went out for hotpot which is an event me and my friends have been waiting for a long time. Even though the rain drops like a storm coming right in front of us, but it did not stop us from travelling all the way from Santa Cruz to Fremont. On highway 17, the water splashed by the cars passing by us. It was scary because it blocks everything.

Good afternoon, I 'm a Spotsy Sophomore, and I was in CGS until about three months ago. At the time, my best friend had just recently passed away and I was dealing with a lot of stress and sadness as a result. I had no motivation or desire to do normal everyday things, let alone homework. My grades slipped. Against the advice of my teachers, I left the program and went to Spotsy full-time.

I remember the second half of my eighth grade year when I made second alternative for All-State band. I was semi pleased with my results, but I knew I could achieve better. I told Mr.C antrell (my high school band director) and Mr. Lonberger (my middle school band director) in the High School band room that I was going to make All-State Band my Freshman year of high school. That summer I spent a lot of time praying in my room asking God to help me make it. Although I was not playing my Baritone during the summer (because I did not have a personal one)

All I had ever experienced prior to this was a small, two-row choir room, so entering into this huge room is a shock. I try to soak up the white-brick room, as I know I will be spending a lot of time in here during the next four years. There are three rows of black risers set up with what seems to be an unnecessary number of chairs. There’s a massive window off to my right that almost completely covers the entire wall, with the

Candy wrappers were in the floor, old water bottles still in the cupholders, and jackets, basketballs, and bags piled in the back. It didn’t matter though because we were about to have the time of our lives. The first hour was boring as always. It was boring mostly because there was no new roads to drive or sights to see. It was along first hour, too.

They told me I could only bring three items. At the moment I didn’t have one clue what was going on. It was really hard to think in a short period of time to pick what I needed to bring. I didn’t know where I was going so, I had to be optimistic. I go running around my house and frantically looking.

The first few days of school usually we jumped right into knowing each other and then singing. But since Pangburn knew us, we jumped right into singing. This year was oddly different, we played these stupid games on Ms. Kruth’s school laptops as if we were kids. And honestly, as a senior being in choir for all of my years of high school plus 8th grade, I’m offended.
