Granted most of my ideas were pretty terrible, but it was something I&#8217;ve never experienced to have my ideas for something I&#8217;m not very good at be appreciated and incorporated.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>2.What of your childhood let to performing?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I did some theater in junior high and two shows my senior year of high school, but honestly I count Pirates as my first real production. It was a much grander scale than what I had ever done, and with a lot more talented people. My background is really just playing pretend.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>3.Why did you try out for Spring Sing host\/hostess?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I just really wanted to get up and sing on that stage, even if it was just for the audition. Being a Spring Sing host is a huge honor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>4.How do you feel when you perform on stage?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel at home. I feel so happy, and that&#8217;s probably where I feel most comfortable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>5. How do you prepare for a show?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If I have time I take a nap. That&#8217;s pretty much it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>6. What is the group dynamic of all the hosts and hostesses?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kelsey and Renee are the parents, and Jesse is the center of attention. He&#8217;s kind of like the ring leader of it all, he&#8217;s the funny guy. I just kind of sit back and watch and complain.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>7. What have you learned from this experience?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I learned that the key to any performance, particularly the ones where you&#8217;re out of your element, is confidence. I am a horrible dancer, but if I go out there and am confident, it doesn&#8217;t look it bad \u2013 fake it \u2018til you make it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>8. What motivates you to perform?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Shows like this have a huge effect on people. It gives people an opportunity to forget about things, and it is a reminder that there are more important things. I really believe in the message of this show, and I think it&#8217;s something that is important for our culture to hear. I think of the incredible opportunity I have to bring such a great message to somebody, and to give somebody the opportunity to be relieved for a while.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring Sing host James Morgan answers questions about his experience. 1.What was one of your most unique Spring Sing practices? &#8220;I did not know I was going to be asked&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5092,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[268],"class_list":["post-5420","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-campus","tag-hurricane-florence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelink.harding.edu\/the-bison\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5420","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelink.harding.edu\/the-bison\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelink.harding.edu\/the-bison\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelink.harding.edu\/the-bison\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5092"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelink.harding.edu\/the-bison\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5420"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thelink.harding.edu\/the-bison\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5420\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelink.harding.edu\/the-bison\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5420"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelink.harding.edu\/the-bison\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5420"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelink.harding.edu\/the-bison\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
