My first App!

I finally got my first app off a few days ago, and the check has already been cashed. I don't hear back from them until mid-October though. I went through a lot of drama to get everything I needed to include with the application. I almost gave up, but I received some encouraging words, and was able to send it off in time. I am not going to go into all of the details, but I will say that I will not be getting my pictures printed at Walgreens again! Thank God for having a flexible job, because without it I would not have been able to complete everything I needed to do. On a good note I have my edited CD, and it sounds great! I am really excited about that! I have some great repertoire, and when I figure out how to put the mp3 on here, I will! This is a fairly short blog, just wanted to give an update.

Ram in the bush

I have really taken the bull by the horn with these YAPs. I admit that procrastination has taken over a little, but not too much! Tomorrow I will be recording my audition CD to send off to the YAPs that request them. I have worked really hard on this music, so I know recording them will be a breeze. It has been kind of rough finding someone that could accompany me who's schedule matched mine, but the Lord will send a ram in a bush. I had met someone that was really excited to collaborate with me, but our schedules just didn't work out for this project. I am sure we will have more opportunities to work together in the future though. He is a great pianist and I look forward to working with him. I was starting to get worried when I found out he couldn't do it before the deadline because I didn't have a backup plan, but the Lord will make a way! One of my friends roommate is going to play the piano and record the CD. Don't tell me what my God won't do! He is a great accompanist as well, and I know I have nothing to worry about. There is nothing worse than having to sing and be worried about your accompanist. Hopefully we will only have to do the songs once because this isn't easy singing I'm doing lol. I will be sure to post clips once I get them!
