Alleluia!

I tried out practicing for a choir earlier this day. I was late when I came at the Immaculate Conception building. I met Jeff, Jerwin and Kevin there, already vocalizing for the practice. Joseph was at the children's choir.

The practice was really exciting, for the person who taught us was Mrs. Vizconde-Roldan, our Music teacher, who leads in rehearsing Hail Mary the Queen Children's Choir. She has told her students in our schools of the different experiences she had for taking up music, such as being able to travel abroad, having her choir in various competitions there, and seeing Mozart chocolate bars. That made it more exciting for me if I would ever make it to her choir.

When I joined the rest of the boys in practicing, Mrs. Vizconde-Roldan told me I was a tenor (I knew I could still hits some high notes). It was amazing learning a new piece called Alleluia Canon (by Ronald Moore if I remember right) with two of the choir members, Storm and Raymond. I noticed that the timbre of their voices were very different from mine and my classmates. Man, those guys really rock!

Mrs. Vizconde-Roldan had to ask us if we're really ready to join the choir. Some of us had some issues that could hinder us from coming regularly, such as the CSP (Christian Service Program) and the fact that three of us live in Rizal. As for me, my parents are willing to support me, except if it will conflict my religious issues. I haven't told Mrs. Vizconde-Roldan that I'm a Born Again Christian. If the choir would be named Hail Mary the Queen Youth Choir and/or the choir would have to sing regularly in Catholic churches, I have to decline. I'm hoping that won't be the case for I really want to be in this choir bad. Another concern would be my studies. The choir could either be the reason for me to study harder or the other way around. I'm praying that the choir would be for my good.

I have to decide. Lead me Lord. Only you know what's the best choice for me.
