Over the weekend I had the privilege to see the potential upcoming juniors audition. I would love to share with you my experience seeing them, and the hopes for our future here at MSA.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\">It was a Friday afternoon. I was so pumped to be an arts ambassador. I waited patiently for the people auditioning to arrive. When it was around 2:30 they came. Sure, I was a tad bit sleepy, but was thrilled to see them. You see, I was in their place the year before too. It was scary, trust me, but the arts ambassadors made me feel so comforted. I knew I wanted to do the same for these wonderful people. So when the first auditioner came, everyone was so excited. We talked to each person that came in. That night there was only visuals and literaries. I, being a literary, was super excited to see the future literary class.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\">It got to the time when the literaries had to audition. I&#8217;m pretty sure I was more nervous than they were, haha. They were all so mature, and chill. This one group talked about anime with me, and I wished them the best of luck for their auditions. After I left them, so they could get to writing, I sat downstairs hoping for the best.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\">Then there was the visual auditions after the literary auditions were up. I went back upstairs to grab those who were visuals. I had time to talk to them, and ask them about themselves. Then, they went inside to draw for auditions. At the end of the day, I was so worn out, but snacks helped keep me afloat. I led most of the people back from their interviews, while eating gold fish graham crackers. After it was all finished, I was fast asleep in the bed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\">On Saturday, I woke up at 7 a.m. I went down to eat breakfast, and people were already there. They said that this was a small group auditioning this year, but it seemed pretty large to me. I talked to several potential students, and was pleasantly surprised with how talented each one of them were.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\">Throughout the day, I was rooting for everyone to give it their all. I found some friends that I had met beforehand, and escorted them to auditions. I was so proud of every single one of them. They had the courage to give it their all. To put their raw work out there. It was so inspiring. It made me feel nostalgic about my time auditioning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\">All in all, I&#8217;m looking at a bright 2022 class next year. I think they are going to bring much positivity back to MSA. They are already so talented, and I know they will grow so much. Good luck to everyone waiting on your audition letter! And know that you gave it your best shot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<span style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\">Maple \ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone, it&#8217;s lovely to be back with another blog.
