WE'RE GOING TO THE ICCAS!

THE MIXTAPES ARE GOING TO THE ICCAS!!!!! I'm so unbelievably excited for this! My life is Pitch Perfect now (hehehe).

The competition starts in February and there's a couple different dates we could compete for quarterfinals, and I think we get to submit our preferences and then they assign us a date. I looked at the website and the locations for ICCA Northeast (that's our divison, apparently we're in a new division this year) are in either upstate NY or Massachusetts. Devin, our MD, is thinking we might try for a Massachusetts one because she's from just outside of Boston, so we could stay at her house and not have to pay for a hotel or try to go back that same night. It's looking like it'll be an overnight affair because the event starts late and we have to stay the entire time because they announce the results of the quarterfinals that night, so it makes sense to just stay wherever we are and come back the next day. Either way, I'm still really excited to compete, it's going to be so much fun. We've already started thinking about what we want our set to be and I can't wait til we figure it out because the ICCA set is going to have all new soloists, which gives me another chance to try for a solo and see if I get one this time.

Other than that, life has been pretty boring, nothing much to report. OH, my section of Song Analysis performing in Program Meeting this Friday, which I'm both excited and nervous for. I know both of my songs and I feel confident in the way I perform them, but it'll be my first time performing in Program Meeting, and my first time performing for literally the entire program since maybe New Student Cab. I don't count the Date Auction performances because not everyone was there, and it was more of a fun casual thing than what Friday is going to be. OH YEAH! New Student Cab is this weekend and I'm sooooo excited to see all the cute freshies perform! I remember how excited the upperclassmen were for my NSC and I'm super excited for this years'.
