    Lyrics, in case anyone wants to read along while listening-
    The moon settles in the dusky sky
    The gentle eyes of the north star rest upon your sleeping face,
    and the heavens gaze upon you.
    In this moment, I know;
    You are not from the ground on which you tread, but of the stars,
    Of the stars.
    You are my radiant, my celestial child.
    You are my radiant, my celestial child.
    As night is drowned by morning you remain at my side,
    Accompanying the sunrise until night swells again across the sky.
    Until night swells again across the sky.
    Then, dreaming, you return to the stars.
    Dreaming, you return to the stars.
    You are my radiant, my celestial child.
    (Dreaming, you return to the stars)
    You are my radiant, my celestial child.
    (Dreaming, you return to the stars)

      @@kennadeedodds7478 wow! sorry this is so late! basically all the juniors and seniors in public high schools in our state have the opportunity to audition. typically if you’re in your high school’s choir, the teacher will bring it up. it’s a pretty standard audition with scales, intervals, sight singing and rhythm. you also have to prepare a solo piece. i picked an opera aria, but you can do any choral/classical piece as long as it’s in its original book source or credits the proper publishing company and composer. you have to score high enough to get in, which involves scoring higher than the majority of your state(for colorado, i think over 5,000 people auditioned and around 300 got in). it’s a lengthy and extremely competitive process, but it’s beautiful and absolutely worth it if you have the chance to do it. i’m very proud to have done it as a choral member and soloist both my junior and senior years!

      I can't believe I'm a junior this year.. Auditions for NCMEA all state are next month but I only get 2 more years. 2 more Mars Hill choral festival auditions, 2 more all-state auditions, 2 more MPA's, 2 more springs shows.. 7 years of choir has led me to this point and I'm happy I've gotten to experience so many life-changing moments in choral music. Whether it was Governors school or just my own hometown choir 💞
