As you can imagine, I was way cool...
An opportunity popped up out of the blue last week to audition for a local a cappella group. I'd been considering trying to find a choir to sing with, and I've always wanted to try a cappella, but I hadn't really gotten around to taking more than a passing glance around the Copenhagen music scene.
But when I saw a posting looking for a soprano for this group, I responded without even thinking.
A few days later, I got word back that they wanted me to come in for an audition on December 12 (that's tomorrow, for those of you keeping track). They sent along music for two songs that they wanted me to learn, one of which is in Swedish.
Oh, by the way, my Danish module 2 exam is also tomorrow.
Busy day coming up.
For now, I'm working on learning the songs, focusing mostly on the words for the Swedish one.
It would be a lot easier if the puppy didn't think I was howling in pain every time I started singing. Every time, he stops what he's doing and jumps up to try to lick my face.
It's sweet, but... not helpful.
And speaking of the pup, he's been having a blast with the snow lately. Here's a recent romp in the dog park:
Haha, he is so cute! But yeah, I could imagine that the howling isn't exactly helping you prepare. Anyway, I hope the audition goes great, so you can join the choir.
