cow choir
Originally uploaded by Zozo.

this photo & the previous one were taken at a choir festival that i went to with brenda and minni yesterday

it was an open festival for groups from all over the netherlands to get 15 minutes "of fame" on stage and perform in front of an audience

there was quite a variety of songs, music styles, outfits and dance moves...but there was one overriding and joyous theme: everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves so much, they all really came alive once they were on stage!!!

it was so wonderful to watch them from up in the balcony and feel the wonderful time they were having, their personalities all shining through

and the quality of singing was overall very high, but in the end it didn't really matter - they were all enjoying themselves and being themselves so much that it gave everyone around them a good feeling, and we couldn't take our eyes and ears off them

and i think it's a great lesson for life - it doesn't matter how dorky your outfit is, how sweet your voice, how graceful your dance moves, or how tone deaf you are - dance like no one is watching, sing like no one is listening - always give energy and enthusiasm to what you are doing, and people will be drawn to you

what a great lesson for EUR1.50
