<v Speaker 5>I think has been working on it since like right

61
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:22.919
<v Speaker 5>after our fall concerts, which I honestly could not remember

62
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:24.479
<v Speaker 5>when it was sometime in October?

63
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:27.639
<v Speaker 1>Uh huh. So you you're pretty confident you're ready to go,

65
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:33.560
<v Speaker 1>aren't you. Yeah, this is the first time you two

66
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:36.560
<v Speaker 1>have done this. So well, this is gonna be kind

67
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>of cool. Yeah, look as you're taking it all in

68
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:43.039
<v Speaker 1>stride and it's no big, it's nothing big. We're just

69
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:45.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna go out there. We're just gonna slay the audience.

70
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:55.199
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be wonderful. Don't you just love her confidence? Yes, Now,

71
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:58.479
<v Speaker 1>of the songs that are coming up with the high

72
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:00.919
<v Speaker 1>school choir, did you say it's going to be the

73
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:02.879
<v Speaker 1>biggest challenge for you as a vocalist?

74
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:07.879
<v Speaker 3>Probably, Mary, did you know, because it's such a quiet song,

75
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:10.719
<v Speaker 3>and we as a choir loves to sing loud, and

76
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:13.319
<v Speaker 3>so it's sometimes hard to rein it back and sing

77
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.720
<v Speaker 3>like this beautiful, peaceful song. So that'll probably be the

78
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:18.439
<v Speaker 3>hardest for us. But we've got all the notes down.

79
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:20.399
<v Speaker 3>It's just the volume.

80
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:22.279
<v Speaker 1>What's going to be the most fun.

81
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:26.040
<v Speaker 4>Oh, for Jos's definitely rocking around the Christmas tree.

82
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:30.319
<v Speaker 1>We never gets hold, It never gets hold, No, it doesn't.

83
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:33.040
<v Speaker 1>It's a fun song. It's a lively song. I think

84
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I was telling the students earlier that the lady who

85
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.759
<v Speaker 1>did that song, original lady is Brenda Lee And yeah,

86
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.040
<v Speaker 1>yesterday she turned eighty And it's one of the most

87
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:48.279
<v Speaker 1>played records ever with the female voice for the holiday.

88
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:50.199
<v Speaker 1>It is the as a matter of fact. And you

89
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:52.519
<v Speaker 1>know what she says, she doesn't care. She just likes

90
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:55.959
<v Speaker 1>the song, likes singing it. You know, she's been singing,

91
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:57.839
<v Speaker 1>believe it or not, to be the big singer when

92
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.959
<v Speaker 1>she was fifteen. So well, it's gonna fit your your

93
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:07.199
<v Speaker 1>your your level just just right here now the big stage.

94
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Now I have to ask you right and you ever,

95
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.680
<v Speaker 1>that stage is huge. You're ready for it. You're ready

96
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:12.920
<v Speaker 1>for it?

97
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:15.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, done it before?

98
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:19.639
<v Speaker 1>Oh you did? So you're not a rookie. You're not

99
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:23.800
<v Speaker 1>a rookie anymore. You're a big timer. What about you?

100
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:27.079
<v Speaker 5>I think it's gonna be pretty easy. This is it's

101
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:29.040
<v Speaker 5>gonna be a little difficult trying to fit all of

102
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:30.480
<v Speaker 5>the high school and the middle school.

103
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:32.839
<v Speaker 1>That's right, because we're all gonna be very close and

104
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:33.759
<v Speaker 1>like crammed.

105
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:37.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, we've already made a plan, like for all the mappings.

106
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, confident, you've got a plan. We've got

107
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.120
<v Speaker 1>it mapped. Everybody's going to take a bath. So no,

108
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.439
<v Speaker 1>there's gonna be no surprises there. That why that's going

109
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:49.000
<v Speaker 1>to be fun. And again the.

110
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Date, it's the seventeenth, at seven pm at the high school.

111
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:56.680
<v Speaker 1>All right, well, this is gonna be a lot of fun.

112
00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.399
<v Speaker 1>Does it put you in a more of a festive moon?

113
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:03.120
<v Speaker 4>Oh for sure. I've been saying Christmas song since like July,

114
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:05.600

00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:11.360
