Auditions

Our Elementary school has a fabulous music program. The school play is Amazing, but I really dread the auditioning. This year Linsey and Hunter both wanted to try out for the play. We practiced the songs and I coached my kids on their stage presence. Auditions were 2 hours long and parents were not allowed to watch. Pretty intense for an elementary school play, I know. We had to wait all week while callbacks and principle parts were chosen. My kids were nervous, but as a mother, I was a wreck. I checked the music teachers website daily and by Thursday night and all day Friday I think I checked it every hour. This was Hunter's third year to try out and if he got cut again, I wasn't sure he would do this again. Linsey was in the play last year and loved every minute of it. We hoped she would get a chance to be in the play one more time before she heads off to middle school next year.

Finally, Friday night the cast list was posted online and I frantically scanned for my kids names. Hallelujah.. they both got parts! They are super excited, and I am super relieved. Phew. Mark your calendars for April 22-23rd. It should be a great show!
