It's Over.

Okay. Auditions on Monday, arrived at the CEPA (Center for Education and Performing Arts) and met up with friends; Jam, Megan, Laura (the one who said she would be Tiger Lily...she's actually cool and we're friends now) and Ashley. i filled out my audition form (Alice in Alice in Wonderland DID look awesome, btw) and then picked up a sheet of lyrics for Seasons of Love from Rent. Turns out that was the song we were going to sing in groups. i'm so glad i didn't sing that song for auditions because i came thiiiiiiiis close to choosing that instead of my song....



Mhm. i did Tomorrow. :D In the end it was the one i could sing best, i guess. i was given the number 24, Jam was 25. They finally called us into the dressing room and i was still calm, just hoping i wouldn't decide to freak out at the last minute and ruin everything. i walked onto the stage, still keeping my cool (yusss!!) and got to "when i'm stuck with a day that's gray..." before Mr. Gossett stopped me. After that i realized i was shaking. i read the Wendy monologue, and the Peter Pan monologue (that was cool). He asked me to do it "boyish" and i did the best i could....he's already told me before i did very well with cold readings so i hope i didn't disappoint him this time.

Then yesterday...everyone came back to the CEPA for the 2nd audition and this time we all sat in the house and just sang along with the CD version of Seasons of Love. Then we went up in groups to sing it on the stage (i volunteered for the first group) and sang it karaoke. Man i sucked! i put one finger in my ear to drown out everyone else and just listen to myself. i know i did MUCH better with the Annie song.

It just got worse. Mr. Gossett's sister Kimberly showed up to teach us a few quick dance moves. The problem was, she spent so little time teaching it, it felt like i only had moments to learn it before the music started playing and we did the same move over and over in front of the judges. i never got the moves until the other groups started going up and i got a few minutes to do it again to myself. FRUSTRATING. :P

Song playing: Let Me Go - 3 Doors Down

i think Shelby Hartley will definitely be in it...she had very good balance and movement and probably singing skills but she's overweight so the harness that the major characters wear to fly probably wouldn't hold her. Jam will probably get a major part. She's skinny and pretty...not the best at singing but she's got potential. Connie Kempffer, for sure. She's Mr. Gossett's pet. She might get Wendy or even Peter. The others i'm not sure about. There were probably a lot of good ones but i never saw them perform solo.

i don't think i'm going to make it.
Oh well.
