theyellowhobbitI got lost on my way to the Techiya audition. I was riding my bike there (it's about a 10 minute bike ride to MIT) and I went the wrong way on Mass Ave, ended up going way west of where I needed to be, eventually finding my way back, and then biked down as fast as I could. My audition was supposed to be at 5, I got there closer to 5:20.
Luckily, they were running behind. So they didn't seem to mind my lateness. And MIT really is a maze.
I think I did well. I don't know if I did. With the warm up I showed them how non-existent my upper register is, but that my lower register does exist, a lot, and it is shiny. Then I sang the beginning of "Elias" by Dispatch. Not a challenging piece, but perfectly in my range, (and I've performed it a billion times, albeit all in high school and with a guitar and other people) so I think I sounded good. (Considering you could sing "Happy Birthday" I think I was okay with singing "Elias." It's impressive when a group of people can sing Happy Birthday on key, but I don't think it's so impressive for an individual to sing it...)
So I find out about callbacks tonight, and then callbacks are tomorrow night, if I get called back.
I'm only a little bit nervous, and I'm not sure whether or not I'm nervous about not getting in or nervous about getting in (considering the time commitment...)
Also, I really like riding my bike around MIT. They have plenty of places where you can go really fast. And it's mostly flat. Wheeeeeee!
*Update* I got asked to come for a callback! Yay callback! The callback is tomorrow night. And it's in the same place, so this time I shouldn't get lost.
