So, there's no better way to start off a post about choir than this..."When I walk on by, Asians be lookin' like WOAH...they fly! This is how I roll, colorful shirts gone OUTTA CONTROL. We skip to the beat, walkin' down the street in our white shoed fit. AHHHH, hey look at that security pouch...AHHH, hey look at that security pouch....AHHH hey look at that security pouch....WE'RE PREGNANT. When I walk down the street, this is what I see, 41 blueberries a starin at me, we got glasses on our face and we ain't afraid to flash 'em, flash 'em, flash 'em....ANIMANSTERS AND WE KNOW IT!!!!" For those of you who have no idea what Anima is/ have no idea what just happened, I'll explain. Anima is the chorus that I was in in Chicago, the word Anima means breath, soul, life, and spirit(going hardcore Ellsworth style...), and it was basically my life. Two summers ago, I had the great and amazing privilege to travel the world with these lovely people, we spent two weeks traveling to Estonia, Latvia, and Russia. I am so blessed beyond words to have been a part of Anima, because I have not only made so many amazing friends through Anima, but I have had amazing, AMAZING opportunities that most aspiring musicians my age would never dream of having. For instance, I had the opportunity to preform with the Lyric Opera in Chicago, when means that I have preformed on the Opera house stage! I've also traveled to New York, where we preformed at the Alice Tully Concert Hall, we also sang for a newly married bride and groom on top of the Rockefeller Center, and so much more. I am so happy not only for those amazing opportunities, but for the people I shared them with. These people are the most genuine, fun-loving, hilarious, yet musically talented people I have ever met, and I am so grateful for the friends I have made there. I knew from experience at every concert, that if I passed out, someone would catch me, and if they passed out, I would catch them. Now THAT'S friendship. Anyways, my Mom was unpacking a few of her things this morning and she found a newspaper clipping from Tour, AND the program for Lyric, which really got me thinking, I am VERY blessed. I love and miss all my animansters, big and little, old and new, I love you all dearly, and I promise to visit soon!
<3 Always,
Rose
