Apr. 21st, 2005 10:57 pmHiya!
The multi-cultural show was today!!! I think it was a big success in spite of the fact that Ms. Kanu is a complete IDIOT!!!! Ok. First of all, she is so stupid. I can't even begin to tell you how incredibly dense this woman is!!
First off, it takes me 3 trys to actually get a chance to audition. I decided to sing "Mais Que Nada", a Brazilian song in Portuguese. It's the most amazing song ever! I love it so much, and I thought that it was so appropriate for the show, so I put together a band to play it for me (consisting of Tiffany Goff, Jesse Schnorr and Jeff Adkins, three very, VERY talented musicians). The first time I went, Jesse came with me. Tiffany was making up a test for English. The second time, Tiffany was with me; Jesse was on SRA. The third time, neither of them were there, no pianist, and no drummer (I hadn't been sure Jeff,my bassist,would be added at the time). The third time, I had to audition a capella. It wasn't that bad; I didn't have my CD with me, but it still went ok. Kanu's like "Oh! I know this song!" So, all went well, and I got in the show. Come to find out, it wasn't until the first rehersal before the show that my band wasn't expected to show up. I only told her, let's see, THREE TIMES that I was going to have live accompaniment. And twice in a row I brought one of them with me! What an idiot! They're like
"ok, is it ok if so-and-so goes on after you and you perform on the apron because we have to set up our instruments?" I'm like...
"::wtf??::...Sure, but what about my instruments?"
"What? You have instruments?"
Later on, Kanu's like "you didn't tell me you had a band!"
WTFingF!!!!! I told the woman I had a band THREE FUCKING TIMES!!! She even wrote down the names and I had Tiffany's and Jesse's teachers e-mail her their student numbers just so they could be in the show with me! I WAS STANDING OVER THE WOMAN AS SHE WROTE THE NAMES DOWN!!!! I told her how to spell them and everything!
So yeserday, she's all like "we have a serious problem here. There are too many bands!" Alright Ms. Kanu, you're the one who let all these acts in and now you're complaining about what's in the show? IDIOT!! So, she decides to take away my Jesse and my Jeff!! Why, you ask? Because "All the acts look the same." It's not our fault that so many cultures use the SAME INSTRUMENTS! The important thing was that they didn't sound the same. So the next day, (today) I found out that she decided not to cut them out of my band. Phew! You can't have a jazzy, latin, rhythmic piece without drums and bass! It's just not possible!
The first show went on fine. Perfectly and smoothly.We performed "Mais Que Nada" and it was great (except we never quite figured out our cue to end). My mommy was there! Weee!!The second show came along and things were moving pretty slow. Ironically, it was much shorter than the second show. But things started to go awry a bit and Kanu started freaking out. She started randomly CUTTING acts from the show! "We're running out of time!" she said. RETARD! I could have strangled her. When I first heard the news, the first thing that ran through my mind was "Oh no! What's Ashley, gonna think?" Ashley, my friend of Brazilian descent, who had been waiting for three weeks to finally see her country be recognized in the multi-cucltural show, was unfortunate enough to be at the second show. I knew she'd be furious. So, I ran to tell my band mates. Wnen I told Tiffany, she was pissed because her mother was in the audience of the second show and wouldn't get to see her only performance in the show. When I got to Jesse, he didn't seem too detered by it. He was in so many acts already. (popular percussionist). By the time I got to Jeff, he was already pissed because he just found out that the piece that he and Jesse had co-witten had been cut. It was a disaster. We were all so upset!!! What was the angering part wasn't the fact that we were being cut alone; it was the fact that she was just cutting a whole bunch of acts that were multi-cultural and leaving in everything that was R&B and Hip-Hop! I could just die! I wish Kanu would. She's a stupd, racist old lady who doesn't know good music when she hears it. It really got on everyone's nerves! How can you just cut everything about many cultures? You can't!
At the end of the second show, I saw Ashley and she was like "what happened? I didn't see you!"
"The bitch cut me out of the show!"
"What ::starts fuming::
I was so angry with Kanu. Ashley was even wearing her Rio de Janero T-shirt for crying out loud!! She was so angry!!! Everyone was! People were like "what happened? I didn't see you. I thought you were in it this year." I had to tell them the sad news that Kanu is an idiot.
I came home and told my mom about it and she was flabbergasted by this teacher's stupidity!
Luckily, there is some good to the day
The happy conversation of the day:
Simon: Webber!
Nataku: Jhonston!
Simon: Webber!
Nataku: Jhonston!
(goes on for a while)
Nataku: Don't make me break your glasses, boy!
Simon: Well, you're going to have to pay $250 to get me a new pair! Nataku: Why don't I just take off your glasses and break your eye?
I busted a gut. ^_^
Anywho, RELAY FOR LIFE TOMORROW!!! COME OR ELSE!!! See ya!
