O-H

I-O! That's what you do when you are "O-H"'d by someone. Anyway, I know it's been a while so here's what's happened since my last post. The musical was a HUGE success. Everyone did very well, I even managed to squeak through my songs with a messed up voice. It wasn't the prettiest thing but I got through it. I absolutely loved working with the entire cast, but there a few people who went above and beyond and I can thank them enough (You know who you are). Shortly after that, I turned 18. I am now a legal adult, which is a very weird thought considering I am one of the most childish people I know. What else? Oh ya, I was indeed accepted to Ohio State University! I was accepted to the college but I still have to audition to the School of Music. Which is actually what I'm waiting to do right now. I just got registered and am waiting for the welcome. I am excited, nervous, anxious, stoked and just about every other emotion at the same time. This is my chance to show them what I can do! I want to thank everyone for the prayers and good vibes you have been sending my way. This is pretty nerve-wracking for me, but with all this good vibe coming, I can't help but feel confident in myself. Thanks everyone!! 

Thoughts by the Audition Room

Well, I'm back for another post. Today, I'm sitting by my District Honor Band audition (Im)patiently waiting my turn. Im not worried about the audition but I hate waiting so I'm filling the time with another blog post. Opening Night for the musical was yesterday. It was a good show. Except for the fact my voice decided to crap out JUST in time for the show. It really sucks when you have to sing fairly high and you can't hit the notes. So I improvised some harmony on some lower notes, but I was able to still sing fairly well in my falsetto. So there's that. I'm still proud of how the show went and I imagine that tonight's show and tomorrow's show will be just as great. So. There's the update on that. Oh, College. I've been accepted to a few schools. Still haven't auditioned at Ohio State yet so that's on hold. But both KU and K-State have accepted me. I've also been accepted by Northwest Missouri State and Simpson College in Iowa. So I've got a few options in case my initial plan doesn't work out. Well, my audition is coming up soon so I'll leave you with that for now. Until next time, stay golden. 

We're off to see Brutus

Hello internet, it's good to be back again. Things have been good and I am excited for this coming week. Monday and Tuesday, I have play practice and so far, it's been pretty good. Lines are getting there, slowly but surely, and the music is coming along really well. I'm really excited for this production and I'm more excited to perform it whenever it comes time. Wednesday, our band has a marching competition in Baker and it is going to be amazing. I'm sure we will get an amazing score. Thursday, my dad and I will be heading to Ohio State University for a practice audition to see what I need to work on. I'm really looking forward to going and getting an idea on what kind techniques I need to work on. More on the story as it develops!

Back on the Road Again.... The Road of Blogging that is

Hello all, sorry for abandoning my blog like that. I got super busy and actually forgot I had a blog until I was reading some other people's blogs. I've been fairly busy prepping for auditions and working on scholarships, musical practice, etc. I am super excited for the years' musical. This year, we will be performing The Wizard of Oz and I am the Tinman! I couldn't be more excited! The part is perfect for my voice range and I get to be super goofy, which is my specialty. We just started practice so there's not much to say right now. I am currently working on auditions for Ohio State and it's really coming along. I hope to come back to the blog and update you all on these things as they progress. I hope it becomes a small source of entertainment and joy to read my blog. Thanks to all who read this and I won't abandon it again.
