Rachel's POV

Oh my god. Today is the day all 12 members of New Directions have been waiting for all year. Regionals. We've decided our songs. To open up we're starting with Me and the girls doing 'Walkin' on Sunshine/Halo'. Then when we finished the boys jump out and sing their mash-up "It's My Life/Confessions" for our opening. While they're doing that us girls change out of our dresses and into our "Keep Holding On' costmes and then put our 'Somebody to Love' costume on over it. The boys already have thier's on when they do 'It's My Life' Just flow one into another.

It's time to start. The lights blur my eyes of the audience but I'm still able see where I'm going.

Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
They didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

Then the rest of the girls join in.

You're everything I need and more (I'm walking on sunshine, wooah)
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo (I'm walking on sunshine, wooah)

And don't it feel good!

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo (I'm walking on sunshine, wooah)
I can see your halo halo halo (I'm walking on sunshine, wooah)

And don't it feel good!

I used to think maybe you loved me now baby I'm sure
And I just cant wait till the day when you knock on my door

Oh now now!

I'm walking on sunshine, wooah!
I'm walking on sunshine, wooah!
I'm walking on sunshine, wooah ohoh!
And don't it feel good!

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

I can see your halo
HALO!

After belted out the last note all the boy jumped on stage, except for Artie, who wheeled in really fast in the dark. While we all changed clothes I listened to the boys perform.

FINN:
This ain't a song for the brokenhearted
No silent prayer for the faith departed
And I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud

GUYS:
It's my life!

FINN:
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I'm alive

GUYS:
It's my life!

These are my confessions

ARTIE:
Just when I thought I said all I can say
My chick on the side said she got one on the way

GUYS:
These are my confessions

ARTIE:
If I'm gonna tell it then I gotta tell it all
Damn near cried when I got that phone call
I'm so gone and I don't know what to do
But to give you part 2 of my

GUYS:
You better stand tall
When they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break
Baby, don't back down

These are my confessions

FINN:
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever

GUYS:
These are my confessions

FINN:
I just wanna live while I'm alive

GUYS:
It's my life

ARTIE:
Just when I thought I said all I can say
My chick on the side said she got one on the way

GUYS:
These are my confessions

FINN:
I just wanna live while I'm alive!

GUYS:
It's my life!

The stage then went daark for minute while the crowd cheered. Tina, Mercedes, Quinn, Brittney, Santana, and I walked on boys took off the 1st costume and the band started to play 'Somebody to Love.'

Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
(Repeated multple times)
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own -
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord - somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me - somebody to love?

(He works hard)

Everyday - I try and I try and I try -
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm goin' crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe
.com/somebody_to_love_lyrics_glee_
Yeah - yeah yeah yeah

Oh Lord
Somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm ok, I'm alright
Ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!

Find me somebody to love

(Find me Somebody toooo Love)
(Somebody find me)

The lights dim for a second as we change into 'Keep Holding On' clothes and then go straight to white.

You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand
When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There's no place to go
You know I won't give in
No I won't give in

Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

So far away
I wish you were here
Before it's too late, this could all disappear
Before the doors close
And it comes to an end
With you by my side I will fight and defend
I'll fight and defend
Yeah, yeah

Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

Hear me when I say, when I say I believe
Nothing's gonna change, nothing's gonna change destiny
Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

La da da da
La da da da
La da da da da da da da da

Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

Keep holding on
Keep holding on

There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through.

I audience was clapping so hard during our curtain call it was like I could feel them. We all stepped of stage where was there giving each one of us a high five. "Guys that was amazing! You should all feel proud yourselves." He said as we went in the back to change back into some normal clothes. When were down there I could hear Vocal Adrinalene perform Rehab, then Mercy, and finally Thriller.

"Alright now we are going to annoce the winners of Regionals 09'-10" The judge said.

"In third place........ Carmel High's Vocal Adrenaline!" The team went up and reveived the award and cheered.

"Second Place............ McKinley High's New Directions!" Omigod I couldn't beleive we got second. I never felt so good. But who won against us?

"And folks in First Place .............. is Okcacal High's Power Voice!" They gave speech and I remember how much I liked their performance.

"Well you guys did really good." said when we started to leave.

Before everyone fell asleep we all sang 'Ride Wit Me' for celebration.
