Today's the day. I am pumped for my audition for the Baltimore County Honors Orchestra. My audition was set to be taken place at Dumbarton Middle school on Saturday at 10:30 am. I was definitely ready for this audition because I created a plethora of practice sessions either with Mrs. Harris or by myself. Either way I was ready for it. My two audition pieces were very well prepared and ready to be performed. I was auditioning on the violin. Even though I was skeptical and concerned that the violin was going to be extremely competitive, that thought never detered me from doing what I had to do. When I arrived at the school, I there were so many students who were also auditioning. I walked around since I had ample time to practice before I auditioned to listen to some of the students. I can tell that they've been working just as hard as I had for this day. I saw a variety of instruments that I rarely see anymore. From the viola to the bassoon, it felt amazing just being in the presence of talented musicians such as these. When they called me down to one of the classrooms, I was excited but nervous. But I didn't have to worry because I knew I was going to get in. I was able to memorize both of the audition pieces before I went into the classroom which I thouhght was amazing. It's like who memorizes an audition piece and to be able to play it straight through? I even think that that's pretty darn amazing!
