I woke up this morning with my cold even worse than yesterday and a nasty blocked nose, so I wasn’t in the best spirits for my chamber choir audition. The vocal exercises were actually ok, but my voice sounded all croaky and nasal on the sight-singing and I mucked it up a bit the first time around (after I sang it once he let me sing it again and that time I did it right). So basically I thought I’d done a pretty pants job, but I had a phone call from someone from the Music Centre today saying that they want me to sing Alto 1, hooray! This will be a bit of a change as I’ve always sung Soprano before, but it’ll be fun to try out a different singing range for me. :happy: The first rehearsal is tomorrow, I can’t wait to find out what we’re going to be singing! Hopefully it’ll be a good way to meet some new people, too. I’m also going to join the wind orchestra and symphonic brass ensemble, both of which are unauditioned, and next Wednesday I have my audition for Symphony Orchestra. I’m not too nervous about that, as I’ve now seen how informal and short the auditions are – also I spoke to two women in the music office today and it sounds like they’re quite short on French Horns so hopefully I’ll get a place whether they think I’m good or not!

That’s about all the extra news I have since yesterday, except that I also went and spoke to a woman in the library today about my placement as a Library Assistant as part of this work scheme Warwick have for low-income peeps. I start my first shift next week, and it sounds like I’ll mostly be putting books back on the shelves and working at the service desk. Fun fun fun. :] Take care all, ciao.
