Friday's Panto Audition

Last Friday (28-9-12) a group of us from Bitesize went together to Glyndwr to audition for the senior chorus in this years pant, Snow White. When we got there we all went down to the end of the corridor to warm up out of the way of everyone else. When we got back after a thorough warm up we all sat down in a group and got ready to go into the audition. A couple of girls came up to us and started bragging about how good they were and asking us what we did, like dance practice, and told us they danced for 6 hours 6 days a week. They asked us if we were nervous, and of course we all were a bit.

When we got into the audition we were given a number and asked by some volunteers to fill in a form about ourselves. Then we were asked to go onto the stage and space ourselves out to learn a dance.

The dance itself was quite nice but the lady who was teaching it to us went through it very quickly and when she played the music it was very, very fast. Had we gone through it more slowly and in depth then I would have had no problem with it but I struggled slightly. When I wasn't sure what came next I made sure to smile and perform, even if it was wrong. I think this helped me a lot because I was given the part of one of the 7 dwarves!

I am very happy with the result and I can't wait to start rehearsals. I wasn't the only one who got a part because a couple of others got in as dwarves, a few got to be in the junior dancers and four were chosen as the senior chorus!
