Audition List

Here is a list of things to do for a successful audition:

1. Whatever you do, smile until it hurts.
2. Always try your hardest.
3. Be gracious, no matter what part you get. Accept with a smile and a "Thank you!"
4. Discard the nervous butterflies.
5. And, most of all, HAVE FUN!!!

I did all these things and success followed. So, go to your next audition and follow this list.

My Audition

I just auditioned for my ballet school's Nutcracker! Here's what happened: I went to the studio, where I got my number; 9. Then we did warm ups, but most people just ran around in excitement. Then we went into the other studio, where the judges were at a table, looking intense. We stood in rows according to number. First was the toy soldiers' piece. The person who was auditioning us gave us a piece of choreography to dance. We did it according to row. I danced my best. Then was a piece for only the boys. Next was another toy soldier piece with a complicated jump. I wasn't the best, but I certainly wasn't the worst, either. Then, finally, was the party girls. It was the longest and most complicated piece of all. But I tried....... and succeeded! I AM A PARTY GIRL!!!!!!! Just like I wanted to be.

Glasses

I got new glasses on Labor Day. They are dark brown with pink insides and sides. Sorry there's no pictures. This is how I ended up choosing them. Well, we went to the store, and there were pair after pair after pair of glasses. I looked through a section of glasses. Boring. Then I spotted a section of colored glasses. "Yessss!" I cheered. (In a whisper, of course.) I spotted four pairs right away. One was dark blue, one orange and one black and purple. And of course, these. It took a while, but we finally decided in favor of these. And I'm glad.
