Musical tryouts!

Okay, so I have the best news in the world... yes, it is the best. End of discussion! Anywho, so my school Bingham High School (which I love) had Musical tryouts about 2 weeks ago. I tried out of course! I sung "I cain't say No" from Oklahoma. I had this whole character planned out and I believed I had it down pretty well. I walk into the choir room fully preparred. Then while listening to a young man before me sing "If I were a Rich Man," I forgot my first note. He left... so I slowly stood up on my feet, walked to the piano, gave Miss Hatch my music, and prepared myself. Then as she played the introduction, I was too focused on my first note that I forgot the words! *gasp* I know... it is terrible. They told me to start over, so I quickly looked at the music and it all came back to me! Then as I was focusing on the words, I didn't get into character. Instead of singing with a talking/singing voice, i sang in a choral voice. Don't get me wrong... it sounded beautiful.... really. It just didn't sound the way i wanted. Oh well, I made the musical... that is all that matters to me. I am in the ensemble! Yay for me. I am so excited! Oh, wait a minute! I never told you what the musical was! Do you want to know? Are you sure? fine, it is.... *drum roll* "How to succeed in business without even trying." I get to be a secretary! We have only had 3 practices so far, but I couldn't be happier... letterally. Well, I guess I better get going. I have a Madrigal party to go to!
