Auditions

Well, today I had auditions for "The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940". They didn't go so badly. There were a fare amount of guys who auditioned...and most of them could do a decent Irish accent. I, on the other hand, did a horrific job at an attempt of a German accent...many people said it was fine but I sounded more Sweedish than German. The best German accent was done by Maia, and Emma came in a close second. Nathan was by far the best Irishman, but I don't think that's who he'll be. I'll let you know who who's tomorrow...for we find out tomorrow. I'm so excited!

So, I'm doing this college application thing and I'm wondering how to audtion for the musical theatre programs. I know that you have to audition by singing, dancing, and acting and I understand that each school is different, but I would like to know what you guys did to audition...yes, I guess I should really be asking Devin and Elizabeth, but I am in the process of doing so. Hopefully, I'll get some more info soon.

Kind of exciting news...Ms. Butler said that I could sing with Encore. What made her change her mind? I believe I owe my thanks to my mother. She emailed Ms. Butler today...along with Karen's letter. I believe that Ms. Butler might have had some pressure from other teachers as well. But in any case, I can sing with them...so there for I can try-out for All-State. I'm not enrolled in Encore yet, but I will be soon...if Mr. McKee gets on top of things (he hasn't been at school recently). So yeah, that's it.

Along with choir...Mr. Kuehn asked if I would like to sing with Oregon Chorale this season (winter). Well, of course I'd like to...however, I have a dance class that takes up an hour of Chorale. I know some of you are going to say, "Drop the dance class!", but I have been dying to take class on Mondays, and it's a new teacher, and we're actually going to do a pointe class every other week. I haven't done a real pointe class in...who knows how long. So I'm really, really excited for this class. I'm planning on talking to Mr. Kuehn about it. I hope to be able to sing with Chorale and take the class. How would I achieve this? I would show up late to Chorale...Brooke and I drove past Centuray with an hour left of Chorale practice, so I would only be an hour late. And if Mr. Kuehn does let me sing but feels I probably shouldn't sing in the concert...that's fine, at least I'm singing in a choir. I hope this all works out.

And I've just realized that I need to talk to a lot of people...and pretty soon!
