This past week

So I just decided to start my own blog. Perhaps write down what's new and exciting that's been going on, and yet at the same time, have a place to jot down frustrations and observations that I may have.
I just got back from SanFrancisco on a band/gold voice trip. It was a very LONG bus ride and we really weren't even there that long. But I really enjoyed getting to know some people better. But what I found out is that people that I already thought I knew I actually knew nothing about....and that was strange. Because certain people I usually really enjoyed being around I all of a sudden could not stand. And I realized how shallow, immature, and inconsiderate they were to other people. And so that caused me to think....perhaps I need new friends. But at this point I'm going to college so I guess I just don't really care anymore.
A really exciting happened on Thursday though. I found out that I get to play Lucy Harris in "Jekyll and Hyde" and I am sooo excited. I worked sooo hard for that audition. I swear I was listening to the songs nonstop for the past month. So I knew my audition song completely by heart. I don't think I have ever felt so prepared for an audition, or quite so excited. I was standing next to Mason and Livi at the same time and we all found out we got in. So we started jumping up and down and Livi and I were singing Bring on the Men. Basically we were sooo excited we couldn't even stand it.
I do keep hearing rumors that I knew that I was going to be Lucy or something. So if anyone reads this I'd like to put a stop to them now. I had to audition just like everyone else. I had no idea if I would make this show or not. The only thing Fred ever said to me was that he hoped I was auditioning. So seriously some people need to get lives and stop spreading ridiculous rumors. And if u hear something....perhaps you should ask people involved instead of just telling someone else. Just some advice ;)
Another exciting thing happened on Friday. Gold Voices took FIRST in our jazz division at the Heritage Festival. We also received a Gold rating...which only 3 groups got :) Kyle Gemberling got an outstanding soloist award which was very exciting. He honestly deserved it. He did a great job on the song Brazilia. It definately would not have been as good without him :)
One bad thing that happened is that I am terribly sick. I've had a fever, a sore throat, a cough, a headache/migraine, and a stomach ache. I don't think I've ever felt so badly in my life. There were times I felt like perhaps I was just gonna pass out. Luckily I am getting better....so by next week I should be like new.
I love all the doors that are opening for me. I feel like I can honestly do anything at this point in my life. And it's all so exciting....:D
