I know Maps really well. I know all the words and most of the notes. The choreography also came really easy to me on Thursday and Friday so I know it really well already. I need the most help with the girls song. We've only practiced it once so I don't know it very well. I really need to work on practicing more at home. Amani is probably my favorite fall song! Its just a fun upbeat song! And I just love those types of songs like Wangol!

Practicing at home definitely helps. Singing is muscle-memory, both for your ears and your voice, so the more you train your muscles the better you get:)

The song I know really well is Maps but I need more practice on the lyrics for Top of the world. I would have to say that Maps because it is one that I can get really easy and it isn't as frustrating learning that dance compared to some of the other ones that we've done in the past.

The song I know and perform the best would be Maps. The choreography for the song is quite simple and the lyrics were easy to learn, along with our parts. The song I would need the most help with would be On Top of the World. I know the choreography, I just need to know the lyrics better. But we're having a lyric test covering it soon so I'm sure that will help. My favorite song would have to be Amani. I like how it sounds it is and it reminds me of Wangol.

The song I know the best is probably On Top of the World because the notes are pretty easy and I already know the lyrics. I need to work on As I Walk with Beauty the most. The notes aren't too hard but I have barely looked at it compared to all the other songs. My favorite song is Venga Nel Nostro Coro. I think it's fun to sing and I think that it will sound really great once we can get it in canon.

The song I know best is On Top of the World because it's easy and I knew the song before. The song that I need to improve most on is most likely Vengal. Which I can improve by practicing at home and working on the pronunciation. My favorite song is probably Amani because I really enjoy the dynamics of the song.

I know it's crazy how fast the school year has gone by already! I really enjoy choir and everyone in it! I really think we can do well together at festival and all our other concerts. I know Maps the best and enjoy it the most because it has choreography to it and it was on the radio many times, so I knew the lyrics and song before we even got the song! The one song I need to practice more is Venga Nel Nostro Coro. I am excited for the fall concert and the rest of the year to come!! :-)

The song that I perform the best is probably cups because i knew it prior to learning it in class. The song that i struggle with the most is ubi caritas or bengal bel nostro coro because even when i practice at home the pronunciation in the foreign songs are still tricky, for me. My favorite song is also cups because of all of the really cool parts in it.

I believe that I am good at preforming Maps because I picked the choreography up very fast and am very excited for that song. I really need help with the lyrics on Venga, even though we started them today, it’s frustrating me that I’m not picking them up as quickly as I want too. My favorite song is definitely Amani because it’s just like Wangol and I love the upbeat, African type songs!! :)

I believe that I am the best at performing Maps because I picked up on the dance (and I find it to be fun) and because I know the lyrics and can sing on pitch. I really need help with the lyrics for Venga. I am having a hard time pronouncing them so quickly and putting them in the tune and beat of the music. My favorite song that we are doing right now is As I Walk With Beauty because it is really pretty. It sounds calming and smooth. The piano and singing parts are both beautiful.

I think the song I perform the best is Maps, the choreography is easy and I have picked up on everything quickly thus far. I would say the most challenging song for me is Venga. This is just because of the pronunciation it requires and how fast paced the song is. I know I along with the choir will get there and be successful this fall concert. My favorite song is Amani because it reminds me of Wangol and how fun that was my freshman year with Garrett and Ryan as seniors.

The song I know the best would have to be Maps, the Choreography and the lyrics are not very hard for me. The song I need to work on the most would be Ubi Caritas, the language barrier is going to be hard for me to express myself in the song. My favorite song for the fall concert is On Top of the World, I am so excited for the senior feature and cannot wait to make up our clapping part in the end.

The song that I know the best would be Maps, the lyrics are very catchy and were pretty easy for me to learn and the choreography is very fun and easy to catch on to once you learn them and actually put in the effort. My favorite song would definitely be On Top of the World because it has a very up beat sound to it and I am excited to do the senior part at the end. And the one song that I would say I need to work on would be Venga Nel Nostro because some of the pronunciations are difficult for me.

The song I know the best is Maps. I've known the song for a long time, and the notes are simple. It is a pretty easy song to sing. The choreography is also straight forward. I need the most help on Venga Nel Nostro. I missed the day in class when we learned the pronunciations. I need to practice the lyrics so I know to how pronounce them and know what I am saying. My favorite song is On Top of the World because it has a senior feature. The song has a great message, too.

I think that I perform either Maps or Top of the World the best, because I had known the lyrics previous to this year so I did not really need to spend a lot of time memorizing them. I need the most help on Ubi because I don't know most of it, but I am learning quickly. My favorite song from our Fall concert is either Top of the world or Amani because they both just sound so amazing when we sing them.

The one that I'll need more work on is probably Ubi because the solfege gets a bit crazy after the first two parts.

I perform Maps the best and it is my favorite because it's just a really fun song and I sang it a lot before we got it for choir. I also have the choreography down and I have fun with that too. The song I need the most help with is Ubi Caritas because sometimes I can't seem to find the right notes or I am and I just think I'm off.

The Fall concert song that I know the best, as well as several other people, is Maps. I think this is because the song is a popular song and I knew it before hand and we also practice the dance a lot and I enjoy performing it. The song I need the most help with is Venga, I tend to get confused in the middle. My favorite song that we are singing is On Top of the World because I like the lyrics and you can really add your own personality into the dance moves.

The song I know best is sing me a song of a lad that is gone. The song I need the most help with is Venga because of the pronunciation. My favorite song for the fall concert is on top of the world because i like the way the choir sings it.

I am the best at maps, and saying the words in Ubi is the hardest. My favorite song in the fall concert is the guys song because it is really fun to sing.

I think the song I perform the best is cups because it is modern and I am familiar with it... so it is easy to move to. also the pitches are familiar so I was most confident while learning it. On the other hand, I believe I need the most help with Ubi, because the Latin is tricky in terms of pronouncing and memorizing.

The song I know and perform best is probably Amani. It's similar to Wangol in so many ways - the part was easy to learn, it's upbeat so enjoying it comes naturally, and there weren't many phrases to memorize. The song I need the most help with is Ubi Caritas because there are a few note jumps that I'm slow to hit and I need to work on memorizing the lyrics and last page. My favorite song is As I Walk With Beauty because the way it sounds when all of us nail are parts is mesmerizing. I also like that the altos get to sing a little higher than usual.

The song I know and perform the best is Sing Me A Song because it is just a song that once you get into it it is very fun. The song I need most help with is probably Venga because I get confused when everyone is singing a different part. My favorite song is Top of the world and Maps because the choreography is fun when you're around your friends and just dancing

I know Maps the best but need to practice the dance a little bit more. I need the most practice with just pronouncing the words in Venga and Ubi. I like all of the songs for many different reasons. Our songs connect us in many different ways.

The song I perform the best is Amani. It’s very energetic and I know all the parts. The song I need help with most is probably As I Walk With Beauty. It is probably because we have worked on it the least but I still know it pretty well. My favorite fall concert song is As I Walk With Beauty because it is really deep and has an awesome meaning. It sounds super amazing when everyone sings together.

The song that I know and perform the best is Armani. This is because it is the song that I am not afraid to sing out on and it is the most fun to sing. The song that I need help the most on is Vengal. It is difficult sometimes to find the starting note of the next section you are singing. My favorite song is Armani because of the section leader solo and because it is lively and fun. It also reminds me of Wangol and I think that our choir excels when singing these types of African songs. I am very excited for this fall concert and to perform for the first time in harmonics.

The song that I know the best is Maps because it is repetitive and the dance moves are fun. The song I have the most trouble with is Ubi Caritas. My favorite fall concert song is I’m on Top of the World. I am looking forward to the fall concert.

The song I know best is Maps. I feel like I know this one the best because I know all the dancing parts very well and I have memorized the lyrics. My partner and I have the partner work down and can do it well and efficiently now. The song I need the most help with is probably the girls song As I Walk With Beauty. For the soprano 2's I just don't know all of the pitches very well and it's hard to hear my part because the sopranos are a little overpowering. I am really excited about the fall concert because it is my first concert as a high schooler and I am confident in the choir that we will do an amazing job!

I perform Amani the best, because I think that it really shows how well the tennors can be. The song I need the most improvement on is Sing me a song of a lad that is gone, because simply put a lot of the guys don't know their words. I'm most excited to perform Amani because i think people will be amazed by how well the tennors can be.

The song I know and perform the best is Amani. I know this one the best because I have all my notes and lyrics completely memorized. The song I need the most work on is Ubi Caritas because the part near the end is different and the notes are difficult to find. I am most excited to perform Amani because it is so fun and lively!

I think I preform Amani the best. I feel like I enjoy singing it and that comes across in my facial expression and movement. The song I have needed the most help with has been Venga. I was having trouble when we do it in rounds keeping on my own part and not getting sucked into the other parts. I feel like I have been doing better at that though. My favorite song is definitely As I Walk With Beauty. I just love the way it sounds and it's amazing to know that I am a part of making that beautiful sound.

In my opinion i think i best preform the song 'Amani' for many reasons. I use as much as expression as i can, i sing my loudest on the loud big parts, i interact with the people around me and smile. The song i need the most help/work with is 'Ubi Caritas' because i always get the words mixed up and dont pronounce words the right way. But i am getting there :) My favorite song from the Fall Concert is 'amani' because everyone gets there own little part to shine. the guys in the front (bradley and zach) are amazing singers and always surprises me when they start singing there solo. i also really like amani because of how up beat and exciting it is.

I love the songs for choir this year, so it's hard to pick my favorite. I love performing Maps because the choreography is fun and requires lots of energy (which I don't always have but it helps my spirits). I probably need the most help with Amani and remembering where we are in the song because it's pretty lengthy with lots of different sections. My favorite song would have to be Maps because I love to dance, and the choreography for that song is a lot of fun. Can't wait until Christmas! ♫♪♫

The song I knew the best for the fall concert was Maps mainly because I already knew all the words from hearing it on the radio. The one I needed the most help on was the girls song, I just couldn't get into it and I think that was part of the problem. My favorite song was Amani because it was such an uplifting fun song.

I knew maps really well and it was my favorite because I always heard it on the radio. The parts part was harder but I got it all down. I struggled with ubi because of the several different parts and pitches but it went well overall.

Hi, yes, the fall concert is coming up, and it definitely isn't the day before the end of the term. I remember knowing Ubi the best, and needing the most help with Venga. My favorite was probably Ubi.
