I play clarinet and I have for 2 years now and this is my first year of choir!! most of the concerts for band I missed I'm sick literally every 3 weeks its a problem I know but for one of the concerts I did attend, we played the Tempest (By Robert W. Smith ) and we still practice it but we're not gonna perform it again but it's like a classic at my school lol

not doing anything anymore but i was a choir kid in high school (clarinet through middle school), and we had a friendly rivalry with the other music kids >:3 my favorite song we ever sang was called fear not (i dont remember the composer ;-winking i literally saw people in the audience crying when we sang it which is the absolute peak achievement when you're doing a sad/emotional song. my senior year we were supposed to sing with a famous professional orchestra but then covid happened sad
