Taking a break from uni applications to revive the blog.argh.essays are the bane of my existence!
ok update on today..
Never before have I ever had such an extreme case of stage fright.!!!!
Headed down to tc today for music min auditions carrying my violin,which I hadn't touched since sec3.(i hardly think the last minute attempts to practice the audition songs last night can be counted.)Was super nervous the violin is not my forte..out of the 3 instruments i listed down,they
had to pick violin as the choice of instrument for my audition!
The auditions were held on the tc auditorium stage, much more intimidating than the cozy band room where my previous audition was held a long way back.If that wasn't daunting enough,when i got there,only sharul the guitarist and roger the drummer was there..then sharul proceded to break the news that the worship pastors and the rest of the band would be arriving shortly.I guess i knew the entire band would be there..but when they appeared in the flesh,larger than life,along with the music directors and pastors,the entire lot of them there to assess me...i was like..ohnoimnotreadyforthisgetmeoutofhere!
sharul then asked if i'd like to have an impromptu guitar audition as well..i remember most of the audition songs were in B flat.i had no capo and was using someone else's guitar so i was thinking ohh nooo..but id much rather be playing guitar than violin in music min so i agreed.
guitar auditions were comparatively alright i guess..minus the fact that i was strumming quite softly cuz of the headphones,forgetting that the volume could be adjusted!yess i know that was retarded.but its justifiable under extreme stress!oh well.. couldve done better i know.
violin auditions..that was when i totally froze.Out of the 4 songs i was supposed to prepare,willis had to choose the 2 which i didnt.whatever arrangement i had in mind just flew out of my head and when the band started playing,for a moment i just forgot how to play.im not exaggerating.my mind went blank and i froze.willis kept giving me signals to come in and i only managed to recover midway through the song and even then,i couldn't play properly.
aii. guess i shouldve prepared properly.i dunno what happened..i dont usually get stage fright when im playing onstage cuz i enjoy it..i mean i do get stage fright when ive to do other crappy stuff..like public speaking(which i hate)..or singing(which i always do 'cept on the stage haha).oh well just glad its over.God will open the door if he wants me to do this Xcrosses fingersX
haha anyway.its been 4 weeks of leading the unemployed life!woohooo.but the moolah's running out..so i need a job.yeesh how i hate that word haha.
and its back to applications..ta.
