The Choir Audition.

I took Lexis to her first Choir audition last night. I was nervous for her but she was pretty calm. I asked her if it was okay if I went in with her. "No Mom" was her reply. When they called her name I got up too. I wanted to be there. The teacher led us into a very small room. The only thing in it was a piano and a chair. I sat on the chair and didn't look at Lexis. She was instructed to stand by the piano. She asked her to sing some scales on the piano. She was to go higher and higher with her voice each time. The teacher would sing then Lexis would repeat. Then she did the lower scale. Next it was time for Lex to sing, "My Country Tis of Thee." Tears welled up in my eyes as I listened to my daughter sing. She was all grown up. I was very impressed. Next she had to clap a few rhythmic beats. Lexis got 3 of the 4 right. Last she had to repeat after the teacher lulu notes. I believe she got all 4 of those right. The audition only lasted about 5 minutes. I was so proud of her. I waited until we were out in the Suburban to tell her I was happy she did this and that she did great!

They said we will get a letter in the mail on Friday letting us know if she made it or not. I'm excited for her.

Lexis is a wonderful singer. She takes after her Mother. I love to sing!
