Soooooooo, I practiced for at least eight hours straight on my audition song yesterday and blew out the top part of my range. It really showed during rehearsal for the church cantada. My voice was cracking left and right and I had a hard time holding the higher pitches. I managed to maintain a high G with only a couple cracks. Thankfully my audition song doesn't go much higher than an F. I am running through the first time with a piano tomorrow morning. I have been using a midi program to run through it cause I'm not that great at playing piano. Did I mention the audition is tomorrow night? Yeah, definately over my head. All I can say is thank God for show choir.
I actually have no idea how a community theater holds its auditions. I am used to high school, which is absolutely nothing like the real world. I wonder what the talent is like around here? I have no clue whatsoever what I am going to see tomorrow so no matter what it'll be a surprise. Greeeaaat.
Switching gears here a bit, I decided to split my focus on the arrangment thing I'm doing. I'm still working on it, though. I just thought it appropriate to post some Christmas music up. I'm starting with Trepak from The Nutcraker. I really want to do a concert bandish version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman. Tell me what ya think. I'll try to post up tomorrow after the audition. Oy, this can't end well.
