For singing. Mostly for singing. Though it is an event for singing, listening, singing along, having a picnic, standing in the queue of ice-cream, beer, grill, sugar-wadding.., meeting (by accident cause no way to reach meeting-places on time) long-no-seen friends and relatives, feeling patriotic, feeling power of the 25 000 +++ people singing under the singing-arc, making waves in the huge crowd, feeling close with everyone in the crowed as the only way is to stay and sit, and move around side by side, and many more activities one can think of.Princess Murks went for singing. Prepared for it for the whole year before the event. Almost every Sunday for 3 hours. Uh. But would climb under the singing arc even without being practicing for so long. Because the most important thing on the Singing Festival is the singing. It is not about performing the songs for the audience. It is not about performing the audience and being heard the comments later: "the tenor was not heard...", "the sopranos were singing 0,4 seconds too late", " I did not hear your singing as I was queuing for the toilet for 45 minutes"... Those kind of comments are fun but not at all the main reasons to go on the stage.
The Singing Festival is about singing. About putting your voice flowing according to the directors hand. About whispering in piano till the sound is braking. About scream in forte till the voice is gone. About hearing the song coming back from the hills of Lasnamäe. About feeling the closeness with all the other singers around you flowing with the same force. Feel the power of the singing that buts the crowd move and feel in the same rhythm. All together. All alone. Powerful shiver going through your bones and you know that everybody else feel the same.

yees Murks..singing together gives a power. A power which was also felt through media channels (my way to take part of this event).
Saite muidu k6ik oma paelad ja kleidid 6igeks ajaks valma? nyyd on kooril puhkus v6i uued sihid?
päikest!
Ehee. Mul oli küll kleit valmis ja ka vöö täitsa omal kohal. Nii ka teistel - keegi ei tulnud alasti :). Praegu puhkame häälepaelu, aga sügisest on vist plaan Gaudeamuse jaoks harjutama hakata. Edasi, igatahes!
Sing sing sing, but where is mentioned dancing!!!!!!!!
Moreover, official translation is Song and Dance Celebration!
;P
Eh, dunno nothing about dancing... Was nice to watch the dancing and see the "contour of Estonia" or the "fish bone" or tha "zig-zag" and other figures made of dancers from the good position.
But the problem with the dance festival is that the audience can not dance along.. or can they jump up and start the "Tuljak" between the rows :)? On the other hand - everybody can at least scream (if cant sing :P) the words of the songs - everybody can participate in the concert :).
