This really umped me up for today. I needed some good energy sent my way and this gave it to me

it is really hard to get warm so early in the morning
i probably shuld have spent a little more time on that

I can't believe i made it this far. I couldn't be happier right now. I haad a great time with all my friends, old and new. and this really gave me the confidence I needed to get through

LEFT BEHIND DEMO

Left Behind(Spring Awakening)
time spent learning this song 1 week
I chose this song because my chords are feeling a bit stressed and i just wanted an smooth song to do. I really loved this song and I had access to it so I chose this one.
Listening to myself on the recording has become a much more pleasant experience than before the challenge started because i improved tremendously over the challenge and/or i have a ton more confidence in myself than I have had in the past.
one thing i did notice though is i went flat quite often. and the "Things" was just really unpleasant, but i found that on the last one i found a spot for it that didn't sound as bad as before. also I was off beat several times with the back track. I didn't practice that much with the karaoke track and i should have. woops!
Thanks for listening

"the end is near"

it is the day before the big day. I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone in my support group. I don't think i have ever given them credit on my blog but they have all been equally inspirational and supportive. My best friend Jill, my trainer and good friend Consuelo, My voice teacher Sandy, and my mom and my dad. Thank you to all of you. I could not have come this far if it weren't for your encouragement and your strength. thanks a bunch!!!!!
I would also like to give an extra special thanks to Kurt.
the evil mastermind behind this challenge and the reason the ten of us have grown so much in a MONTH!!!!
good god it seemed like a life time but we did it everyone!

tap- beginner
Tap is actually really challenging but once I get the hang of it I have it! I really like tap a lot and I'll probably pursue  it even more after the challenge
