AUDITIONING

  

One day I was watching TV when my mom told me about
an audition opportunity at Joel Barlow High School and the
play was Les Misérables. I had no idea what Les Mis was.
I researched it and the story is about a man who is
released from prison and gets in trouble by stealing money
and the law tries to put him back in jail.  In the meantime,
he becomes a guardian to little Cosette. I was going to be
auditioning for the part of little Cosette. My mom said,
“Sky, do you want to try out?” “That sounds awesome,
Mom, when is it?” I said. “It’s in a week, should we sign
up?” Mom said. “Yes!” I said. That Monday, I got the
sheet music from the office at school. That night I came
home and practiced the song Castle on a Cloud. I
practiced four more times after that.

A couple days later it was the audition. On the drive I
was very happy! “Good luck, Sky!’’ My mom yelled as I
walked into the room. The judges knew that I was
auditioning for little Cosette because she is the only
female child part. I flashed back to the last time I had a
auditioned it was for home for the holidays. It was fun. I
knew I would do great in the audition! I was soooo
excited!!! I was standing on a stage as soon as the
recording started, I began to sing. Towards the end of the
song, one of the judges paused the music, and turned it
back on late and it messed up my singing. I was a little
mad but brushed it off so I could finish.  I sang in front of
a bunch of judges and the director named Diana. All the
judges liked my voice, after I sang. I was nervous
because I didn’t know if I got the part.

I waited, waited, and waited. It must of been one week!
Finally, Mrs. Keating told my mom I got the part of little
Cosette. It was exciting. My mom said “Good job Sky, I
think you did great!”
