This weekend was amazing. The Omaha symphony was amazing. For choir, we sang the music of Queen with the Omaha orchestra and it totally rocked. The lead singer was part of a Queen cover band who sang with the orchestra and the chorus (us). He sounded exactly like Freddie Mercury and hit every note perfectly.

In the second half of the show, we sang the background chorus parts to "We Will Rock You," "We Are The Champions," "Flash," "Take My Breath Away," "Who Wants To Live Forever," "Somebody To Love," and "Bohemian Rhapsody."

In the first half, they sang "Killer Queen," "Another One Bites The Dust," and "Under Pressure," among others. During the encore, they sang "Fat-Bottomed Girls" and "Too Much Love Will Kill You."

The energy in the symphony hall was crazy! There were about 2500 people in the audience and EVERYONE got into the music.. it was like a rock concert! They sang along and clapped and waved their cellphones in the air.

It was awesome to be at a concert like this and not be in the audience. I was more pumped being on the stage than I ever have being in the crowd. The conductor was really amazing too... he cued us in everytime we sang and one time the lead singer held the microphone in front of the conductor to sing the note and we had to hold our note for what seemed like forever.. but it was so awesome!
