659 Words2 Pages

When the bell rang I went to my locker, got my stuff, and darted down the stairs to see if I made into the musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. First thing that I saw was the crowd of students in front of the VPA board. I looked around I saw many different reactions. After I saw my name on the list I was excited but a little bit scared. I thought to myself after I saw my name that this might change me as a person.

Next Tuesday... the bell rang time to go the first rehearsal for VPA. We first figure out where we sit and who we sit by. We started reading the script, first thing Megan told us that this musical is all singing. Everyone had a different reaction, but my reaction was scared. When we finished reading the script I …show more content…

When I heard "places for the top of act one" I almost didn’t want to go . After I was done with the first scene my butterflies were gone but ,when it was time for the Go Go Joseph scene my butterflies were back. When it was my turn to do my solo it was going great but then it all went down hill, but I got thru it the best I could for a beginner. After the show I went to DQ to hang out with the cast. When I got home from DQ I said to myself to make sure to watch Mr. Slade. I had a dream that I mess up when my family was there so I had to make sure that I didn’t mess up. After the show my family was angry with me. But I was only a dream.

Tonight is the last time for me to be wearing the baker hat. My mission that night was to do outstanding on my solo and I did. When I was finish Mr. Slade gave me the thumbs up. So after the show I notice that this musical has change me because it has given me confidence in myself. Also that if you want something or to excel you must practice and don't give up. Try not to worry about failure because you sometimes fail before you prevail. So when I hear this song this is what I think

    On a Wednesday night I saw Texas State Theatre and Dance Department's performance of A Chorus Line. The main plot of the musical entails the audition of 17 dancers for several Broadway roles on the chorus line. However, during their auditions the director Zach asks for personal stories of each dancer's life. Though the plot of this musical is seemingly simple in its twist on the traditional audition, it explores themes that reveal the human experience, the search for individuality, and the sense of self.

    Until now, only my family and those who have had the experience of calling my house in the midst of one of my renditions of the confrontation scene between Javert and Valjean from Les Misérables knew about my passion for musical theater. For years I have endured ridicule from my sisters and their friends who have overheard me belting out the lyrics to "Sunrise, Sunset" from Fiddler on the Roof while in the shower. Ever since my first musical, Jesus Christ Superstar, seven years ago, I have been obsessed with the telling of stories through melody and verse. My heart leaps when I see that Phantom of the Opera is coming to the local theater, or when Guys and Dolls is appearing on television at one in the morning.

    I have confronted and challenged myself in other realms of my life. Last spring, in Harvard's Agassiz Theater, the lights were dim and the audience hushed as a cool cube of ice melted over my tongue. Through the crack in the curtain, I noticed my friends huddled in the rear of the theater. A moment later the music roared and I leaped on stage with my troupe. Dressed in our radiant costumes, we feverishly danced, skipped, and clicked our sticks in near perfect harmony.

He continued. “In honor of everything Mr. Christy has taught us the last four years, we want to play him this song. It is called “Songs My Mother Taught Me.” We changed the lyrics to Mr. Christy for obvious reasons.” The remaining crowd chuckled. “I will now give the mic over to Skyler to give a few words.” I was on the stage, flute in hand and a microphone in front of my face staring into a very familiar audience. Everyone else had left except for the proud students and parents of band. I spoke, now feeling warm and

I knew I didn’t like talking in front of large groups, so what made me think singing and playing guitar would be fine? Nothing. I was pressured into doing it. “It will be fun!” my neighbor, teacher, and friend Tim said, “Your family will love it!” He was right about the second part, but at least for me, it was far from

    "You just didn't have a sparkle in your eye." Only a few weeks after my seventeenth birthday, I sat in front of a panel of adults I had once adored as they told me why they had crushed my lifelong dream. For obvious reasons, I did not like the answer. I had dedicated my entire life to performing- singing, dancing, and acting. I always had a desire to be a star someday, and when I was awarded the voice scholarship at my high school and given featured roles in the musical every year, I thought my opportunity to be a star was finally within reach. Unfortunately, despite consistent hard work, dedication, and a strong audition for my final high school show, the opportunity to pursue my dream was never afforded to me.

    I'll never forget the time I made it into my high school's variety show during my freshman year. Every student has dreams of being the most popular kid in school. I was the quiet kid in school. I never caused any trouble, I never asked questions and I never started conversations. I wanted to be popular, but I knew that I needed a new image. I always enjoyed music; I always thought the drums were cool, so I began to play the drums. I formed a band with a few of my friends in hope to gain little popularity. In order for us to get our peer's attention, we had to try out for the variety show. I would have never imagined that playing in the variety show for my peers would transform me from a nobody into a somebody. I had two main goals that I wanted to get from being in the variety show: to gain recognition from the students and to play music on stage in front of a large audience.
