High School Field Trips

I'm not sure why they are still called field trips you know...since science classes don't do them that often anymore, excepting marine biology classes. How does Choir go out "into the field"? We go into fancy hotels and venues to sing with other well groomed and fragranced groups to be judged by well know, sometimes world famous choral directors and composers and artists.
This weekend rocked if you ignore the Choir B**ches who talk a lot of sh*t and the awkward couple making out in the corner while everyone is trying to sleep. Chamber did really well, I mean, we know our songs and we had fun up there. People seemed to like us too. I mean, we didn't place in the final concert, but there were directors and singers who told us they thought we should have. But what was most fulfilling for me was Jazz Choir's performance. I mean, we went up there and we really just rocked it. The crowd was with us the whole way, we were smiling and grooving and just honestly having fun and letting the people out there have fun with us. I mean, I walked off that stage out into the sun on our way to ejudication, and I felt high. I mean it was amazing. Euphoric one might say. Again, we didn't place, but that's fine, we reached a whole new level. I mean our choir usually gets on stage, doesn't smile, doesn't move, doesn't have fun, and noone has fun with use. We pulled the hugest 360 in history. It just really felt good. But now my voice is shot and I don't think I'm going to music rehearsal so I can have a voice tomorrow for night rehearsal for Starmites.
