Free: THE MUSICALLLLL

okay so the SIS musical is coming up and I am pretty darn excited for it! Let me give you guys a little bit of a background on this.
SIS musicals happen every year towards the end of the school year (usually in the 4th quarter). There's always a different theme to it, and everyone in the school participates from pre-k to 12th grade. (Our school is quite small so this only adds up to about 200 + people.) ANYWAY so THIS years theme is a talent show/ glee kinda deal.  Last year's musical theme was disney, and the year before that i think was ABBA. Usually for the musicals we have each class perform a song or two (singing and dancing) and they would sing along to the music, but that wasn't very musical-ish because there was no REAL singing being done. SO for last year and this year we've had auditions for lead parts of the musical. You can audition for a song that a certain class has and while they dance to it, you sing the song. I was going to audition last year but I was way too scared and made up excuses of why I couldn't. T__T
THIS YEAR, is my senior year, so i of course just HAD to audition. I decided to audition for four songs: valerie, lady is a tramp, walking on sunshine, we found love. I was really excited for valerie because it wasn't such a high song and i knew i could pull it off better than the other ones. Also, it was an ensemble, meaning it didn't belong to a class, it was a free for all song. and there was only one lead. I was SUPERRRR nervous for auditions of course, i love the idea of spotlight but i'm terrified of it in reality. My friends were quite supportive of me and even sang background for valerie while I auditioned. They seemed to really like me and I was pretty happy with my performance. Walking on sunshine i did with my sister and we wanted to do a dance with it. bad idea. we messed up cuz we were so nervous D: we found love was alright but i knew they wouldn't like me with the song cuz im more of an alto. Lady is a tramp is the opening song and also an ensemble. I auditioned for it with my brother doing the guy part, i did the song well except for the really high parts (this is the lady gaga version). I knew I had a slim chance of getting it especially cuz two other girls, (though their voices aren't as strong) are able to hit the high notes. So I just held hope for valerie, which is the ONE song I really wanted because my only other competition for it said some mean things about me saying things like "why did she sign up? she cant sing those songs". So that was a definite motivation for me to get it so I could show her up and it was even better when she signed up. It was basically me against her for that song.
Callbacks came and I had one for valerie and so did she. I also got callbacks for walking on sunshine, and another song that I didn't audition for (rhythm of love). The sheet said that lady is a tramp was closed and at that time me and my brother were the only ones who auditioned so we thought we already got it but then they made some changes and opened it up to a couple girls they thought would fit better. (booooo!). When my time came to do Valerie, I was determined to get it, I sang it the best I knew how. At the end they were all clapping and saying "wow" which was pretty awesome. Next I had to do lady is a tramp one more time and I still couldn't hit the high notes very well. Then I auditioned for rhythm of love with another girl and they pretty much gave it to us because they said my voice was low and it fit well with the music and we sounded good together for the chorus.
As for Lady is a Tramp I am happy to say that my brother got the boy part, but they replaced me with someone else -__- (bastards).
but thats okay, CUZ I GOT VALERIEEEEEEEEEE.
spotlight on me baby. already made up dance moves :).
