Flashback to show choir auditions for seventh grade!
(There's a kind of funny part at the end, so bear with me)
it was a Saturday, and we had signed up for the 10:40 A.M. spot to audition.
My friend, (imma call her Marie) who I was auditioning with, came over to my place an hour early to practice (and use her Snapchat. The filters are fun!)
When the audition time drew near, we went into the car (with my mom at the wheel, of course.)
Thankfully, there were no trains as we drove to our school to audition.
We arrived early (thank the gods) and had enough time to practice two more times before we were called in for our audition.
(Quick lesson:
In show choir auditions at our school, the process works like this:
•There are risers. On the risers are five Xs made out of tape. One person stands on each X.
• Each person in the group sings an excerpt "My Country 'Tis of Thee" by themself.
•Then, the whole group sings and dances to a practiced song (usually a part of the song) once or twice.
• There are 3-4 judges who rank your singing and dancing. One of them is usually the choreographer, and the rest are usually music teachers from other schools. )
When you sing "My Country 'Tis of Thee", you can choose from three keys:
• C key
• F key
• G key
When it was my turn, I mixed F key and G key up, and forgot that G is higher than F.
I requested to sing it in G key.
I managed to do it, despite me increasingly panicking inside as I realized my mistake.
Then, Marie sang like a frickin' angel and we had to do the dance.
I don't know how it went, but the choreographer judge was smiling, so I figured it went well.
Just like that, it was done.
We decided to eat out afterwards.
I got ice cream and mini corn dogs (yaaaaaaass) and Marie got a chili cheese dog and something else.
Before we dropped off Marie at her house, my mom had to run a quick errand at the post office.
On the way there, Marie recorded this hideous Snapchat of her screaming. She also got her fingers covered in chili cheese dog, and we had to hand her napkins to clean it up.
(This is the kind of funny part)
As my mom was in the post office, Marie started playing the hideous recording at full hecking volume when people entered and exited the area. People stared at our car like there was a demon in there.
I had to try to tackle her multiple times from my car seat to get her to stop.
She was going to kill someone with the cringyness of it.
Mom returned (thank the gods), we dropped off Marie, and went home.
Thank goodness Snapchat deletes snaps after 24ish hours.
