Johanna Speaks

Last Tuesday I had my Choir performance! 

My brothers came and my sisters came too. We had the whole family except my brother Caleb did not come because he was in Sacermento.

 We actually had two performances. One was at I think 3:30 in the evening. The other one was at 6:30. When we had the first performance there were not that many people.  But the next performance that we had was lots of people all of the seats were basically filled with people and it's a huge church! My friend Abby could not make it to the performance because they were going to have company over at there house.My friend Sophie was there because she was in the choir with me. She had a little solo part in The Lost is Found song. 

Here is me singing my solo:

After the performance we all went to Panda Express! I rode with Camron and Noelle to Panda Express but we went accidentally to he wrong one so we called them and said where are you guys and we have been waiting for you and then they said we have been waiting for you so then we knew we were at the wrong Panda Express so we went to the right one and then we found them.

We came back home and it was almost 10:30! 

I had so much fun!

Yesterday I went to choir and I got five singing papers. 

The first of the five singing papers was " He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" song. And the second one is "Shalom Chaverim" song. And the third one is " Charlie Over the Ocean" song. And the fourth one is "Anthiphonal Kyrie" song. And the fifth one is " A Cowboy Went Yodeling " song. 

We haven't practiced singing " A Cowboy Went Yodeling" yet. It sounds very funny. 

There are 81 students including the higher class. It's a lot. 

This is my choir binder.

Yesterday we also got cupcakes because three of the girls in our class had a birthday on the same day. It was chocolate cupcakes with three chocolate chips on top and white frosting. It was really good. 

At the end of the day, Mrs. Dummer let us play on a playground that is right next to the choir. And we played freeze tag.

Here is the "Charlie Went Over the Ocean" song.

I might get a youtube account. My mom says if I do get a youtube account then it has to be about singing. I said yes it will be about singing because I love singing songs. I am going to record myself singing.

When I was 4 years old I use to hide in a room and sing by myself. My sister Noelle and my mom told me that. I am still practicing songs right now.

Last Tuesday I ask Mrs.Doomer if my friend Sophie and my other friend Merisa and I can do a duet. She said yes we can and we have to practice a lot. She said we can do the " Lost is Found" song. I was so excited. I just love that song like crazy. Every day I am going to try to record myself singing. And put it in here.

Yesterday was choir. We did a celebration for Valentine's Day. 

Last Tuesday Mrs.Doomer said we can bring anything for Valentine's Day. So yesterday I brought two different packs of lip balms. One was Chocolate Cherry lip balm and the other was Vanilla Dust lip balm. My favorite one was Vanilla Dust. It smelled the best to me. We put a verse on it. It says: 

" My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to you". (Psalm 71:23)

Mrs.Doomer said there is a bag on each seat so we can put the snacks in our bags. We wrote our names on it. So Mrs.Doomer said everybody get off the seats and come to the back and sit on the floor so other people can put snacks in our bags. Mrs.Doomer said how this works is I am going to say who brought these candy's or cards and that person who brought them has to put it in other people's bags. So I put the lip balms that I brought in other people's bags. When I put it in their bags their faces looked perplexed. And then when they smelled the lip balm they said it smelled really good and they love it so much.

My friend Sophie brought Airhead candies. They were really good. 

And my other friend Merisa brought oranges. Because her mom couldn't find any Valentine's candy at the store so she just got oranges instead. 

We had so much fun!

We got singing papers in our binders at choir three days ago. And next Tuesday we are going to get more singing papers. I can't wait! One of the singing papers that we are going to do for our performance is called "Lost is Found" by Doug Planks. It's my favorite song of the choir.

My friend Sophie was not at choir because she had a headache. And that was the day we got singing papers. 

Mrs.Doomer said when we sing in the performance we have to use our head voice. The chest voice is deeper sounding than the head voice. I like to use my head voice.

I am going to do a little part of the song by myself in the "Lost is Found" song. I have been practicing for a long time. And when I do my chores in the morning I listen to it.
