Choir Banquet

On the Tuesday night after the Memorial Day they had arranged the yearly Warblers Banquet for the Concert Choir and Orchestra. I was so looking forward to go there and spend an evening with all of the friends from the choir. It's a thing in American schools that most of the groups have some kind of banquet after their season to kind of wrap everything up. Our event was hold at the Eden Resort in Lancaster. That place was amazing! 

After the dinner they started to hand out awards to the students. Everybody was remembered and awarded somehow. Then they said the senior wills and played a video of everything that happened during this school year. The video also included seniors' baby and senior pictures.

Look how much stuff they gave me! First I was called to get a gift card to the movie theater with the seniors who were in the musical. Then I got the senior pin to the choir rope with juniors. Later I was called again as a senior to get the senior medal to wear at the graduation. Then Luisa, Mikkel, and I got a special foreign exchange student shout out from Mrs. Kline-Smith when she gave as the Moravian Manor stars. Later everybody in the Production Companies got red bags with a scarf and  hat in it. The sparkling cider was given to everybody in the Glitter Girls! 

Taking the choir to my schedule was seriously my best decision in the beginning of the school year. I can't even think about how much different my year would have been without choir! I have got so many great new friends who I will miss so much when I go back to Finland. And not forgetting all the concerts and the musical that I got a chance to be part of! What am I even going to do with my life without all the music in school everyday? Going back to my music class in Finland will probably make me miss choir even more...
