All-State

So.... A couple weeks ago I auditioned to sing in Las Vegas. 10 of us waited anxiously in the halls singing the octette together, also practicing our solos. There were Soprano 1's [me] Soprano 2's, Alto 1's Alto 2's, Tenor 1's Tenor 2's, and Bass 1's and Bass 2's. When we walked in there were 6 judges, one was at the piano and the other ones were at desks. They asked us to sing the octette Salve Regina [which was in Latin, so the pronounciation was a little hard!] After that they went through each person. Each person had to sing their solo, clap rhythms, sight-sing, and sing chromatic scales and triads. The solo was the most points, so you CANNOT MESS UP THE SOLO!!! The others were 5 points. All the soprano 1 solos were very very high up above high C, so it took a lot of breath to sing the pitch.... I was soooooo nervous.
We find out if we made it in just 2 weeks!!!!! If we make it in, we get to go to Vegas for 3 days and perform with other kids who made it in from all over Nevada.
The better part of Auitions, since Spring Creek and Elko kids had to wait a while to audtion we all hung out in a classroom and sang songs... and pretty much just hung out for a while!
