Ingrid knew that it wasn't just a coincidence that this year's Das Sound Machine auditions happened to occur on her eighteenth birthday. When Ingrid and her parents arrived at the DSM Training Center, Kommissar had her daughter practice one more time before everyone else arrived for auditions. Since around the time Ingrid had turned seventeen, Kommissar and Martina, another DSM member, had been helping Ingrid prepare a complicated song and dance routine for her audition. It was a song medley of Come With Me Now by KONGOS, Iridescent by Linkin Park and Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri. The routine showed-off Ingrid's gymnastics and dance talents as well.
About 30 minutes passed, and it was finally time for Ingrid to audition. Although Ingrid had trained this routine for months, she felt nervous. She knew how important this audition was to her parents. Ingrid was waiting backstage for her turn, three other hopeful young people, Wilhem, Alessia and Gretchen, would audition before her.
Judging by their shrieks of excitement, Ingrid was certain that all three auditioners had made it in. Now it was her turn. The moment Ingrid had been preparing for for years had finally arrived. As she walked out on stage, she heard someone whisper loudly to his friend, "Hey! That's the Kommissar's daughter." That gave Ingrid a slightly uneasy feeling of intimidation. She was now in the middle of the big stage. She smiled nervously at her parents, who were judging the auditions.
"Ingrid Krämer, you may begin."
Ingrid began her routine, nervously at first... back tuck, kick, turn, split flip... Whoa come with me now, I'm gon' take you down...
Once she was finished with the first few verses, Ingrid's nervousness seemed to melt away. She smiled as she performed with more confidence than she'd ever felt before in her life. And before long she had finished her routine. When Ingrid had finished, Kommissar looked her daughter strait in the eyes, smiled with pride, and announced, "Congratulations Ingrid Krämer, you are a member of Das Sound Machine!"...
