Hello, Dolly

So I auditioned. It was fun...especially the dance part. We auditioned in character shoes...something I haven't done before. We learned 2 waltz combinations. One was by ourselves and the other was with a partner. The one by ourselves was a kind of fun, free, make fun of ballet waltz...something that was slightly hard for me since I am a ballerina :). But he really just wanted it over exagurated....something I can do. After dancing with partners (I was a boy for most of it because we didn't have enough boys, so we ended up switching partners so that the other girl and I could dance with boys), we did the one by ourselves again. Then he asked to see 5 girls....and I was one of the 5! For my music audition, I sang "Elegance." We only needed to sing a song from Dolly. I slightly wish I would have sung "Ribbons Down My Back" but "Elegance" was more fun and showed more personality. I sang it ok...I mean I could have done better, but they laughed when I was singing, due to the way I was singing it and my epressions, not because I was bad. However, I didn't really prepare to read anything because I thought he'd tell me what to read, so I didn't end up reading. But I'm ok with that because I'm fine with just being in the chorus...which I'm pretty sure I'm in due to the dance audition and they asked what part I sang in choir. So yeah. I had fun. I surprisingly wasn't nervous at all. I went in there thinking, "Alright, let's do this thing." It was a lot of fun. I really like the director. We basically had a conversation before I sang. I was really open and conversational. Not my normal self when auditioning for places/things I'm not used to. I felt kind of like I was auditioning for Sil again...you know, a no pressure kind of thing because it's just Sil. Interesting huh? I guess that's a good feeling to have though. Call backs will be posted tonight for tomorrow. I know I didn't get called back to read, but I'm not sure if they'll call back dancers. So we'll see. In any case, I had fun.

Tonight I'm going to "High School Musical." My friend Pam's high school is putting it on. It'll be interesting :)
