Singing in Beasin
November 3
We were allowed to sleep in this morning, but room 123 was woken up at an unearthly hour (8:30am) by a person (who wishes to remain anonymous) having an extremely long and obnoxious shower in room 124. The walls here are as thin as the sheets. The chaperones woke us up just past nine for breakfast at 9:30, which of course meant Cordelia rolled out of bed at 9:35am, and stumbled down to breakfast, and Robyn didn´t move at all.
The highlight of breakfast was watching the recording of us singing in the competition on the computer. After breakfast, we had a few hours of free time. People took showers, rested and studied. Many of us phoned home. There were huge line-ups for the phone.
We had lunch at 12:30pm. It was another bag lunch and we ate in sectionals. In our sectional groups we bonded and discussed ïmportant sectional issues!!¨
After lunch we went to Beasin on our double decker Shrek bus. Robyn slept during yet another long bus ride, and Cordelia did homework. We arrived at the church around 4pm. Even for a sound check it was pretty uneventful.
After the soundcheck we went out for two and a half hours of purchasing. The most common purchases appeared to be purses and bags with an odd pastry here and there.
Then we sang the concert. We sang bravely even though choristers were dropping like flies around us. When the people who did not know the old music sat down, there were approximately 6 people standing in the second row out of the normal 14. During the concert we sang Pater Noster for the guy who wrote it.
After the concert we went to dinner where we had a three course meal which started with a tuna crepe thing, went on to chicken and ended with dessert. We then went on the bus and got home after twelve.
