Okay so remember when I said I wasn't nervous, well that all changed the day of the audition. I hadn't practiced my piece the night before so I practiced that morning. Well, I tell you, I messed up so much I wanted to cry. So I decided I wasn't going to go. But my mom said, "girl you better go there don't ever give up, you gotta fall before you rise." So ofcourse I went to my audition with a blah mood and guess not only did I get violin 1 but I was complimented by the conductor of the advanced players philharmonic. He had me site read a dvorak piece which was really hard. He said thathe'll be seeing me soon enough. Now just think if I didn't go to my audition, PHEW!!!
