A Classic
I had to share this with you.. the dream I had right before I woke up this morning.. because it is a CLASSIC audition anxiety dream (my first audition being tomorrow) and that amuses me:
I was at an audition and they called my name first and I was like OH SHIT because for some reason I hadn't been expecting this and i wasnt warmed up and I couldnt get my reed to go on properly or the sound to sound normal.. and then I realized I didnt know where I was and couldn't remember which audition this was, it was supposed to be U of T but i wasnt AT U of T and COLIN was there so I was like OMG my TYWO stuff isn't ready, it's my UOFT stuff that I've been working on!! The guy who went in before me came back and was freaking out because for his audition he had to play along with a MOVIE that they randomly put on? Sight reading except.. ear anticipating? And as I went into the room there was some girl and Colin asked her if she could be a clarinet accompaniest to a piano (in the band?) and to demonstrate that she could.. she played MY solo.. and a whole lot BETTER than I can.. Then they left me alone for a minute so I tried to warm up but it turns out my mouth piece was a drinking straw?? And then my reed broke in half anyway?? Somehow songs came on the radio that I've played along with before, so I started playing along hoping they'd hear me and not make me do the crazy playing along with a movie thing. But nobody came back.. and it turned out that there had been a bomb threat or something on the building, but no one had told me or come and got me so I was the only one left in the building.. just me and the bad guys who were now in the building and comng after me.. (and then it ceases to be a clarinet dream and goes on but I don't remember that as clearly).
MUCH has gone on in the past week and a half.. been getting out a lot.. a lot of "interesting" not necessarily good stuff.. or both good and bad stuff happening at the same time making it neither..

Ok well that was pretty funny. A real musican would work that drinking straw!!! LOL J/k
Worst audition dream for me was I forgot my clarinet at home, and for some reason I was hours and hours away from getting it. I had my music, just not my clarinet. So they made me sing my part. *Shudder* Trust me, you don't want to hear me sing. :P

HAHAHA oh man
my clarinet teacher told me one today in which she was apparently supposed to sing the part of Violetta from Verdi's La Traviata (she doesn't sing either) and she was in like a full out gown but it was at the CNE and she got stuck at the top of the ferris wheel and the performance was supposed to be starting? (That's one of her big fears, getting stuck on a ferris wheel.. and in full costume no less!)
SO funny.
SEE YOU ON MONDAY!!!!!!
