Encore!

For those of you who live on planet mars or dont live in Lawrence, Ks (the coolest city in the world according to Ms. Taylor Swift), Encore happens the spring of every year. Encore is a show put on by junior and senior memembers of the Freestate choir. This is no high school show. Let me just say that the talent is out of this world amazing!! Im not just saying this because I go to the school, I'm saying it because there are some people at my school with phenomenal voices, and wonderful instramental skills. Lawrence is a very musical town, the diffrence between the music in lawrence and other communiteys is the people in lawrence are blessed to have good voices AND know how to correctly use those voices. I didn't hear ANY flatting.

The best performance of the night, hands down goes to Nolan Frank singing Miami 2017 by Billy Joel. He was the only performer to get a standing ovation. It blew me away that his voice was so good and he played the piano along with the band in perfect tempo. Nolan is better than EVERYONE currently on american idol vocal wise. Hes gonna be someone someday. The next performance that blew me away was somebody to love. The sound that was coming from that song was better than the glee performance of it (and I would rarley say that). The sound was out of this world and the movments and lighting they had associated with it was drop dead amazing.

Some other songs I liked were Jai Ho (this indian guy sang it and a bunch of people dressed up in indianish outfits and did the dance to Jai Ho just like in the movie it was good. I also lked Happy Ending. The sound was really good...not as good as the previously meantioned perfomrances but good. Party in the USA made me laugh. It was all guys and they wore cardigans and they danced around and sang it was cute. A group of predominatly african american people did the Love you save by the jackson 5. They wore the little jackson outfits and all wore afros. it was nice. There was a couple all girls songs that turned out well like Goodbye Earl, How will I know, and You belong with me. A funny one was the most beautiful girl in the room as recorded by flight of Conchords (you should look it up the lyrics are funny stuff). The last two I enjoyed were Love machine (they dressed up as robats) and Time after time (good vocals). All of you should try and make it to an encore performance sometime.
