Fine Arts was..... different
April 30 2006
So everyone knows so I don't have to tell the same story a million times, I'll give the run down on fine arts this weekend.
And just to go ahead and get this out of the way, no, I did not advance in short sermon.
Yes, I made it to the second round at nationals last year, but, well, I
think I went over time, which stinks, but o well, I guess.
But though I didn't advance in the category I've made it in for the
first two years, let me just give you the story of the category I tried
for the first time this year: drama solo.
See, I loved our large drama last year, I had somewhat of an important
role, so I wanted to be able to do drama this year, so I signed up for
it.
For WEEKS in advance I had the same idea for a drama solo, working on it and all.
Then, either tuesday, or more likely wednesday, I couldn't get it to
fall together, so I sought what God wanted me to do. " Go through it
one more time."
So I did.
I figured in doing so He'd show me how to pull it together. Instead, I realized.. it wasn't going to work.
Realize this was just a couple days before the competition, with finals
right in the middle, more specifically a monologue and drama exam on
friday.
There's no way I can do it. I run through things a million times.
I've had plenty of human video ideas that took forever, and sometimes
didn't really work.
In fact, I remember telling my friend Lori Basler at lunch that I was
considering not even doing one: man, am I glad I didn't do that,
because,
Well, it happened. I had an idea, it fell together, I hardly had to
revise any lines at all. All I really had to do was memorize it,
get a spectaculous drama major to help: thank you TIFFANY TERPIN
(spelling) Your suggestions were GREAT.
And the end result was:
I was blown away at how much everyone loved my drama solo. WAAAY more support than I was expecting.
And in a category where almost everyone advanced, I advanced......
AND TOOK FIRST PLACE :)
Yep everyone, I didn't advance in sermon, but I took first place in
drama solo. Adam Rodrigues, yes, you heard it correctly.
Fine Arts 06- Amazing! ( in its own way :) )
