so my school hosted a state choir competition today. since i go there, i had to work three hours there. i worked in the warm-up room for choirs to warm up before their adjudicated performances.
here’s my favorite things from these three hours and five choirs i hosted within those hours:
- a boy with bright, bright neon yellow acrylic nails told me he liked my earrings.
- a director tripped over a chair and yelled as he fell on the floor
- a boy ripped the button off of his blazer—twice and his mom who followed them around, sewed it. twice.
- a girl in a girls choir sneezed on the right on the song’s key change and i could not control my laughter
- my partner in working almost pissed herself and also almost started crying
- my partner dropped a huge sign on her foot that reminded the choirs that they had ‘five minutes left’
- a male director was much too enthusiastic and was telling his all male group about the magic of making music and feeling this moment in his high ass voice
- my director and overall hostess of the competition was heard yelling at a student who was supposed to be working from the hallway
- a really cute, definitely gay girl winked at me and i winked back
- i was the timekeeper and i fucked up NONCE. though a group came super late and practically made us add 20 mins to the schedule for them. i better get a fucking award for keeping everyone on time oh my god
- a director yelled at me and then i just went “mA’Am. I’m a student worker. I can not control bad circumstances and i apologize that we cannot be on time right now. your choir will still have your full twenty minutes to practice, and i assure you the judges know we are running behind and it is not your fault. we are starting your warmup time now.” and i’m so damn proud of myself like heLL YEAH
- i got a cookie after my shift and got to talk with one of the cool ass choirs i watched
