I made the All-Region All Girls Choir last year. To get selected for this choir, you have to try out. There was a lot of preparation and anxiety attacks leading up to the moment I would go in and sing for people behind a black curtain. I remember the day I tried out so vaguely.
When you arrive, you are given a number that has been assigned to your name on a name tag. This name tag was pretty important. The name tag had your group number and individual number on it. My group number was called to go audition and my heart sank. I was lead into the warm-up room with a group of about 9 girls I had never met before. I think that's the part the scared me the most. I really don't know why they called it a warm-up room. They should've called it the room where people back out of auditioning. I kid you not, 2 girls left from my group. I was really getting nervous then. In the warm-up area, we ran through the parts of the songs we would be auditioning on. After this was all over, my heart was racing as fast as a racehorse. You have to understand though, the warm-up time was approximately 5 minutes, maybe not even 5 minutes. I'm not entirely sure. It was now time to go wait in line and wait for your number to be called. I was now the 4th of 9 in my group due to the girls leaving. "3408!" It was my turn to step forward. I walked into the room and honestly, all my fears went away. Now I was just ready to get it over with.
I was so nervous to get the results back. We waited all day to get the results. When we got the news, I ended up placing 17th, I think. I don't really remember. All in all, All-Region was such an amazing experience and I'm glad I got the chance to participate.
