Ok, so I know it's kinda hard to read, but this is the email I got today letting me know that I made BYU-Idaho Women's Choir!!! I'm at the bottom of the Alto 1 list. If you click on the picture, it will bring it up full-size, so that you can read it better.
This is my first real, official audition choir (well, besides the District 3 Elementary Honors Choir back in the day), and I'm really, really excited! This is a little silly, but one of the things I'm most excited about is our choir dresses! Maybe when I get mine, I'll post a picture :)
I auditioned on Saturday (the 19th) for Sis. Ashby, the choir conductor, by myself, then went to call backs yesterday with all of the girls who auditioned. I was really nervous for my audition on Saturday, since it was just me by myself, but it went pretty well, and Sis. Ashby helped me feel really comfortable and confident. One part of the audition was an ear training exercise, where she would play a really weird series of notes and then have me sing them back. I have to admit, I'm pretty proud of this, because I got almost everything perfect, and she told me that we have music majors here that can't do that as well as I did. I thought that was pretty cool!
For call back auditions yesterday, we sang in pairs within our section so that she could arrange us the way she wanted (to get each of us by other singers our voices blended well with), and then she sent out this final list this morning!
One of my new roommates is also in the choir with me (Megan Chelson - also an Alto 1), so it'll be fun having someone I really know to go with!
Women's Choir does some pretty cool performances with Men's Choir and Collegiate Singers (the top choir here--they actually sang with the MoTabs for Music and the Spoken Word a few weeks ago!) that I'm really looking forward to this semester, including performances of "Savior of the World".
YAY!!!
