<p>Hi, </p>
<p>I'm having some trouble coming up with a short answer for the activity section and I would like some feedback on the two I have written. Which one is better and what can I improve?</p>

<li><p>A Cappella has taught me more than I could have ever imagined. Never had I thought that one day I would be able to pick up a piece of music and sight sing it, become so close to a bunch of strangers, or think that this club would become the most important part of my high school career. If there is one thing I have learned in my years in A Cappella, is teamwork. Singing in a choir is more than just singing. Our goal is to blend, to become one voice. If one person is too loud or off pitch, the quality of the song and the performance plummets. Ive learned to trust people and to depend on people, while still pulling my own weight. This choir has proved to me that with the right amount of effort, skill, and concentration, a beautiful piece of art can be created.</p></li>
<li><p>With a deep breathe and concentrated mind, the people standing around me and I open our mouths and begin the performance. During this time, we show the audience everything we have learned. There is much more to this performance than the words and the rhythm. There is a pitch that must be kept, a tone that must remain clear, and a blend that must have a consistency to it. In order to maintain this balance and precision, we must depend on each other. A cappella has taught me that a perfect balance of voice parts can be more rewarding than a perfect solo. While it is fun to have your minute of glory, knowing that you have accomplished the most difficult song you have ever sang with people who care equally as much, is the most fulfilling feeling. When the song ends and we all glance at each other with smiles as the crowd applauses, we know we have accomplished what we have set out to do. </p></li>

<p>Thank you!</p>
