It was new being the one holding the auditions. The kids did great, but I still had to make decisions that affect someone’s opinion of themselves and that was difficult. Hearing their reactions to the process and knowing that they are nervous but excited was an interesting feeling. I get it; I’ve been there. And, more often than not, I haven’t gotten the part. The difference is that I have a personal connection with these kids and I want to see them do well regardless of the outcome. After the audition, I get to invest time in making sure they still do well. That’s part of why I love 30-minute Musical; it’s not just a music class, it’s a confidence class.
And such were my adventures in September. Full of new experiences, joy, frustration, and love. As we go into the holiday season, I am looking forward to more experiences, joy, healing, and singing…especially singing.
Until next time!
