* RING RING RING *
"Aaaah!" I scream as I jump out of my bed
"Oh.. Just the alarm" I sigh in relief
My heart is bounding, it feels like its going to jump out of my chest. Not just because of the alarm.. Todays the big day. The Miami Boys Choir auditions!
I run to the kitchen where my mom is sitting drinking her morning coffee, as usual.
"Todays the day mom, todays the day!" I shout while jumping in excitment
"Well good morning son, youre excited arent you?" Mom smiles
"Uh obviously" I say, as I grap my moms coffee
"Ah ah! No coffee for ten year olds" Mom laughs as she graps the cup from my hand
"I was just kidding mom" I say while jokingly rolling my eyes. I have a big smile on my face, which soon though fades.
"Aziel, are you okay dear?" Mom asks worried
"Yeah.. I guess" I say quietly
"What if I wont make it mom? What if I fail?" I continue
"Well then it just isnt your time yet, honey" Mom says with her reassuring voice. She comes over to me and gives me the biggest hug.
"But im sure youll make it, youve done so much work for this" She says and gives me a smile
I smile back
"Thank you mom" I say
2 hours later
Im sitting in the audition room. Im swinging my legs and fidgeting with my hands. Thats how I usually calm myself down. Right now it isnt really helping though, I can feel my breathing getting heavier and heavier. I bury myself in my mom, her warmth calms me down, atleast a little. I see around 10 other boys sitting in the same room, they all look so relaxed and happy. Im starting to get really worried, I cant wait for next year if I wont make it, thats too long of a wait.
Soon I hear a door opening, I see the man himself, Yerachmiel Begun. Ive looked up to him ever since I heard about this choir.
"Aziel Chanin!" YB says as he looks around
"Its your turn Az" Mom whispers as she pushes me out of my chair
"Good luck dear, youll do amazing!" Mom smiles
I slowly walk up to YB, he has a reassuring smile on his face as he gives out his hand. I shyly look up to him and grap his hand. He guides me to a small room with a piano in there. He sits me in front of it as he walks over to the piano.
"Well Aziel, how are you?" He asks
"I-Im good.." I say while looking at the ground, im really nervous
"Well thats good, what made you wanna audition for the choir, Aziel?" YB ask
I look up to him, still really nervous. I can barely open my mouth and feel like im going to burst out crying
"Its okay Aziel, its okay to be nervous" Yb smiles, he comes and sits next to me
"Take your time" He calmly says
"I-i.. I love singing and.. Ive loved The Miami Boys choir for a really long time.." I say with a stuttering voice
"Im glad to hear that. Im sure youll do really well" YB smiles at me and walks back to the piano
"Should we start Aziel, if youre ready?" He asks
"Yeah.. Sure.." I say, and slowly walk up to the piano
"Okay great, whats your favourite MBC song?" YB asks
I think really hard, I have so many favourites.
"I think.. Revach" I say
"Thats a good choice! Lets sing that" YB says as he places his hands on the piano
"Lets go from the chorus, okay? Remember that its okay to be nervous, no matter how you do you should be really proud of yourself for having the courage to even come here" He reassures and smile at me
I feel my nerves slowly fading away. YB is so nice, I always used to wish he was my dad. Yeah I know it sounds silly, but my father died when I was just 4 years old, around the time my mom introduced The Miami Boys Choir to me.
"Okay lets go, ill give you the starting note and just start singing, alright?" YB says and plays a note from the piano
My heart is bounding as I open my mouth
"Revach revach revach.." I start singing. My voice is trembling and im really nervous. But as the song goes on, I slowly start to get more confidence. I start to smile as I realise this isnt even that bad. Im doing really well, or atleast I feel like I am.
"Wow Aziel, that was amazing!" YB says smiling
"Thank you.." I smile and look at the ground
"And you are ten years old if I remember correctly?" YB asks
"Yeah, I turned ten last week" I answer
"You got a really smooth and controlled voice for your age, good job" YB says and walks up to me
"I think its good to say that youve made the choir" He says
My face lits up. Tears start rolling past my cheeks.
"Thank you thank you thank you!" I say all emotional
"This is the best thing ever!" I say excited
YB laughs and gives me a hug
"Good job, Aziel" He says while hugging me
"Alright go tell the news to your mom, I will see you on monday right?" YB says and places his hand on my back
"Yes obviously!" I say with the biggest smile on my face. I run to my mom slamming the door open. I start jumping around all excited
"Mom I made it I actually made it!" I say
Mom gets up and gives me the biggest hug ever.
"I knew you would make it, im so proud of you Az" She says while stroking my hair
"My first practise is on monday, youll take me, right mom?" I ask my voice full of excitment
"Ofcourse I will, son" Mom smiles, as she gives me another hug
Here it begings. The best few years of my entire life.
