Today I found out some most excellent news! I made it for Honors Chorus!! I also will be able to try out for Allstate. I have found out more info on allstate too. You go through 2 rounds of auditions. In the 1st audition (it's the hardest) you must sing a major, minor, and chromatic scale. Read 3 simple lines of music (according to Mrs. Pence, but I don't know, sight reading may be my weakness). Then we do Tonal Memory (they play 5 notes, you sing them back), and a piece we memorize. The next round is a "breeze" (quoting Mrs. Pence). If you make it through both rounds, you will go to Savannah for 4 days and nights, and practice with really good conductors and the best singers in Georgia. I don't know if I'll even get through the first round, but I think I'm gonna try, just to say I did it. I don't know much about honors chorus. I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

Congratulations, Kelly! It sounds like a lot of work, but it will be worth it. Good luck at all of your tryouts!

Congratulations. All of that extra practice singing at the piano has really paid off! I just hope you don't end up going on tour to NYC with a rock band like your big sister. Seems dangerous.

Kelly, sounds great but I don't understand most of your blog. I do know your Uncle Bob works for Allstate and he might help you whatever you are doing. Love, Grandaddy

I forgot to make the Allstate joke. Can count on Grandad. (He doesn't understand most of this because he is not musically inclined.)
