What happened today?
Which of the songs we are learning are your
favorites?
My favorite song is “Dum Pater” because it’s not happy or too sad. I liked
Mass because the singing sounded really nice.
Just a couple days before choir camp, my eyes opened much wider to God and his
true existence. I went to Mass. And then adoration, and how God is
less of a hazy imaginative figure, God has become more of a reality. I
think that sometimes we get busy and God fades in our minds, we need to keep
reminding ourselves of who he is, we can’t take communion for granted. We
must always remember that God is real and truly in the Eucharist. He is
not some character from an old story, half believed and easily pushed aside.
He built our whole universe, so when you think that our whole world shouldn’t be
centered on Christ, remember that God is the reason for our existence.
Today we did art. It was kind of hard, but I learned that it doesn’t
matter how much time there is, it just matters that you think you were the best
you could be. I like the song “The Way of St. James” because it is really
soothing and calming to me. I learned to play on the piano, the “Angelorum”
part!
I am having such a great time and I am learning so much. My favorite songs
so far are the “Panis Angelicus,” “Magnificat,” and “Thou that art so fair and
bright.” Can’t wait for tomorrow and learning more songs!
My favorite song is either “Two Fishermen” or “Let’s praise Christ with joy.”
I like them both because they are different from what we usually sing.
I have enjoyed “Panis Angelicus.” I like the rhythm and beat to the song.
Choir Camp is fun and exciting. I like doing the pilgrimage and getting
stamps.
My favorite songs are Charpentier’s “Magnificat” and “Let’s praise Christ with
joy (Chimwemwe).”
Having fun with art class, lunch time, Mass, singing praise to God, Ms Sunde’s
cheerful voice, Ms. Gilmore’s smile, making friends.
Choir Camp is so fun! I wish I had Choir Camp every day! My favorite
music to sing is “Panis Angelicus” because it is a very peaceful piece.
I am learning songs so fast this week! I can already sing confidently
things that I have never heard before this week! Right before Mass I was
really hungry, but after I had communion I wasn’t hungry at all! Also,
after I got out of the church, I felt so happy and I didn’t notice the chill.
The art lesson we got was fun and interesting as we learned about how to make a
comic book. It was really nice to sing songs I knew by heart, or almost by
heart, and songs from earlier years. I love being by the Cathedral and
seeing how big and majestic it is! I like all the surprises each day
brings, and how, when you get to camp, you don’t know what you’re going to be
doing that day. I can’t wait to see what the next surprises will be!
My favorite thing I did today was the art class. Why? Because I love
to draw and also drawing about people.
Today someone came to Morning Praise. She wanted to see what our choir
sounded like. I heard she was one of the best choir leaders in the
Northwest if not country (!!!). But for some reason I wasn’t scared.
After that we did art and made comic books on choir. Then we sang, sang,
and sang some more. Then we had Mass in the Chapel. It was a fun
day!
I’ve enjoyed camp so far and I’m excited to know what will happen next. We
had our first art project today and we made a comic book about choir camp.
I learned a lot about St. James and I hope to learn more.
I feel excited when I get communion and very, very hungry and thirsty.
The Journey of Faith! Today in the morning we did morning praise, then
came back and practiced our vocals, after that we had snacks. We bobbed up
and down in the hallways to hit our heads on the fabric stretched sort of across
the ceiling. Today I was an honor student which made me really happy and
proud of myself. I also have the Journey of Faith book at home.
What I liked about today was the drawing which was also drawing books.
My favorite class today was the art one. We drew comics about a non-fic
story about Choir Camp. It went by super fast! During Mass, we sang
a few songs, prayed, and had communion. During the quick breaks, we had
lunch, snacks, and played jump rope which was fun. I hope we do similar
things on Thursday as well!
Today was a very fun day! In the morning we prayed. Then we went to an art
class and made comic books about Choir Camp. That was pretty cool!
Then we practiced music and sang at Mass. Lunch was fun. I ate and I
played jump rope with my friends. Choir Camp is so fun! I am new
here and I feel very welcome. I love the activities here and look forward
to more fun!
I feel good here. It’s a bit crazy, although I made some friends here that
I can feel comfortable around. This Choir Camp is very long though, but
it’s fun, all these people here are really nice and outgoing! Today we got
to do art and be partnered up! We got to do Mass in the Chapel room and sing!
It’s quite cold outside. Our snacks were great.
I made a comic today. I wanna be a programmer when I grow up!
My favorite song is “Nostra phalans” and “Thou that art so fair and bright”!
I love these songs because the emotions that they put into my heart are
remarkable! They make a sense of calmness and joyfulness come flowing
through me in my heart.
Today I experienced how to make comic books and what they steps are and how they
do them. I feel really happy that I went to Choir Camp this year. It
has been really fun and I will come again next year. I can’t wait for the
concert on Friday, that is always the best part of Choir Camp.
My favorite song is “Thou That Art So Fair and Bright” because it is cheerful.
My favorite song is “Let’s Praise Christ with Joy (Chimwemwe)” because it is a
fun song where you get to slide on some notes.
One of my favorite things that we did today was making our comic strip of our
journey through Choir Camp. It was really fun drawing and seeing everybody
else’s idea for the comic strip. It reminded me of all the great moments
that happened in Choir Camp.
Today we went to Mass and after I was filled with a great sense of peace.
I am having a great week of camp, I enjoy learning about St. James the Greater.
My favorite song is “Let’s Praise Christ with Joy” and I have met a lot of new
friends, and I get to help them in the same way I was helped when I first joined
choir.
My favorite song is “Let’s Praise Christ with Joy” that is because it is in a
different language and it is very jazzy. I also like “Magnificat” and
“Thou That Art So Fair and Bright.” I love music!
Camp is very fun to me because I can learn new things and have fun, make new
friends, and sing church songs and in the performance.
Choir Camp so far has been a refreshing experience. Seeing old friends, and
meeting new ones has been invigorating and enjoyable. It is different from
other years (as always) but a good different.
We went to a short little Mass, and I got a cut and I got new music.
Today we snag “Thou That Art So Fair and Bright.” I love that song because it’s
perfect for my voice! We also went to Mass and I really enjoyed the
homily. It was very funny yet still very faithful and it brought joy to
me! I hope tomorrow is as lovely as today was!
Today was great! We did an art project, drawing a part of a comic about
Choir Camp. We also celebrated Mass in the Chapel. The day was set
back later, so I write now at 1:45, compared to our average. As far as I
know, we will not be playing the organ, which is good and bad, because I still
need to work on the piece I plan to share but it’s fun…
I felt very refreshed after the holy Communion as if the weight on my shoulders
has been lifted. I also really enjoyed making the comic strips and drawing
them.
Today we did art. We told stories about Choir Camp in comic book form.
I told about singing Alleluia and the big HEY! LOLZ! My favorite song is “Panis
Angelicus.”
Today Quinn did the psalm with me. He was feeling very nervous but he did
fantabuloso! I felt like I really helped him because I was there
encouraging and cheering him on. I feel like I know everybody much better
than last year. YAY!
My favorite song so far is “Let’s Praise Christ with Joy” and a song form
Morning Praise, “Laudate Dominum.”
I feel like I have more energy and am fresher after taking communion. I
feel excited and adventurous about our next journey.
It was so fun. Emily and I chased people again today and one of them
chased us! And King Glitter has returned. Yay Pokemon!
My favorite thing that we did today was just hanging out with my friends.
But that might change since I just heard we will be going on a mini-pilgrimage.
I’m very excited to go on it, sing, and spend time with my friends.
My favorite song is “Magnificat,” “Nostra phalans,” “Panis Angelicus,” because
it sounds nice.
