Omg, an update? This year? Whoooaaa...
So the All-City audition went really well. I was expecting there to be sight-reading and everyone to have a really difficult piece prepared, but it was nothing like that. Most people didn't have a piece, and if they did, they didn't have the sheet music, or it was nothing too hard. There was no sight-reading at all, but if we had a piece prepared we sang it, and then we did some scales so that they could see our range, and then they tested our intonation a bit. I was only a little nervous while waiting, but I couldn't help but get my usual stage fright when it was my turn. Luckily, it went really well. Especially the scales; they were pleasantly surprised that I could go all the way up to high E XDD.
After we all auditioned (I think they just accepted everyone...), we rehearsed some songs. We did a few Christmas-y songs (which was great, because I love Christmas-y songs :D), this poem by Robert Frost that someone decided would make a great song, this jazzy piece called Sway, and a Gospel song. It was really fun! I'm really looking forward to the rest of the year :D. I've never been in a chorus before, so I'm looking forward to finding out if all those stereotypes are true!
In other news, the senior Masquerade is coming up! My grandma's making me my costume. So far, she's finished the skirt and is almost done with the shirt. Then, all we need is to make the corset and put some finishing touches on it. I don't know what I'm gonna do about my hair... It refuses to curl. I think I'm gonna have to go to a salon and get them to do it, but I'm worried that will really hurt it. Arg...
I'm planning to take loads of pictures and post them :D!
