I think is it is time for an update- and for those people who dont read this- well honestly it must suck for you.
When i was little- i could not wait for the day of auditions w/ Fantasy works. you could tell everyone had been practicing and everyone had sqweezed in an extra singing lesson before the "Big Day". My dad would always drive me- as our little tradition and he would tell me how proud he was of me and i didnt matter what i was in the show- that he would still support me and be there for me through out the whole thing. I would take my lunch box and walk through the front doors and see the smiling faces of all the directors who were happy everyone came back for another season. I would sit with my friends and we would watch the auditions. We clapped for everysingle person and we told every one what a wonderful job they did- even if they only hit three notes out of 67- we knew they did a wonderful job on those three notes- and thats what matters. we would go home and play outside- we would call our friends up to hang out- we didnt care that we would be called for our parts we just wanted to have fun.
This year- things were...a little different. Drasticly different. It was all about competition with your friends. Its all about who can dance better than who and who can hit a note higher than who. After the parts are given out- i can always trust certain people to be upset with them. They badmouth whoever got the part they wanted with out giving it a second thought. I just thnk that the directors know what they are doing- and that there is nothing you can do about it so why bother wasting your precious time complaining and pouting when you could be having a good time? Some people do it for attention- blantely. They sit around and pout about there part untill it aggrivates the hell out of everyone around them. They are the only ones that are not allowing themselfs to have fun- its no ones fault but there own.
I understand that when we are older it will be about competition but PLEASE- we are 13 and 14 years old and- to remind you all- its only one show and there will be other opportunities to shine.
I cant stand the petty little fights that seem to erupt out of our mouths. I can not say i am completly innocent of those- but now who can? Does everyone have to pick and pick at eachother? do you think that it will tear that person down and thats one less person for you to compete with?
I cannot stand people upstaging other people. Please- its one of my most pet peeved things. I cannot stand when people go out of there way to be seen because in the end it makes that person look selfish- as well as weird if they are out of line with everyone else. Please- its one shwo and everyone wants to be seen as much as you do so back up and give them some stage time too- you will not look selfish and it will make that other person happy.
I know i am not at all innocent of any of these things. its just when i was little F.W seemed to be a place of...escape? Yes- thats just the word. It was where i would go and be with all my friends with out any adults and there was NO drama. But know its more of a chore to go to rehearsal where i know that something will happen...
