It was okay. We came second last.
And second.
There were only 3 choirs in our heat.
The christian kids beat us. (As they should have. They get more singing practice.) They got 89%. We got 88%. The other choir got 87%. They gave us all silver awards. I think they grouped us with like choirs. I watched some of the heat before ours - two of the three choirs in that heat were seriously good.
I had arranged the kids into 5 rows. Every child had a row number and position number. The altos were at one end and the sops at the other. Something went wrong when they filed onto the stage and there were only 4 rows. The sops and altos were all mixed in together. I couldn't lead the different groups. I realised when it was too late to fix. I think everyone ended up singing anything.
But they behaved so well. Every eye on me all the time. All 58 of them. No wriggling. Champions.
And now you have done this once, you can enter heaps more competitions and get better and better at it. Glad they behaved themselves, anyway. That is always a good start.
