I'm not even sure how to title this...

Ok, so yesterday was anthem auditions. Had to get up and 6am to be there at my teachers house at 7:45. Anyways, we warmed up and then headed for the USA airways(btw, you get to know girls way better than you thought you knew them when riding together. haha), Karlie, Emily, Julia, Melody, Erin and me all in one car. It was quite crammed. Then the rest in Lori and some other ladies car(s). When we got there we signed in and what-not and watched other auditioners(is that a word?) A lot were really good, but went over the two min. time limit so they were automatically eliminated. We finally after watching at least 20ppl went outside to warm up. The funniest part about that day was, there were three ladies there(to audition) dressed in black dresses, black shoes white mid-gloves, their hair was arranged like Lucy and Ethel, and each one had two HUGE purple flowers arranged on each side of their head, when we went out to warm up Lori says "Did you see those purple ladies!!? talk about hilarious!!" Yeah, they were right behind Lori. It was hilarious.

Went in sang and we were interviewed on ch. 15news!!! Yes, we were on ch. 15 and 3. Bailey and Emilee were interviewed but, the camera guy did a head wave shot of us all. it was pretty cool. oh, and some of the girls got newspaper interviews so, they might be in there. lol

Tiffany, Karlie and Bri did solo tryouts, Tiffany Bailey and Karli did a trio and Tiffany and Bri did a duet. When we got there, there were four people, when we left there were at least 80. And we left at lunch so I can only imagine the number they got after that. 7am to 7pm. Long day for them.

So after much bonding with a lot of the girls, picture taking, getting in trouble for taking pictures, Making fun of the news reporter dudes wearing make up, laughing at "Abraham Lincoln, and Lori, Mr. Ziemer(karlies dad) and Mrs. Ashworth getting parking tickets, and much rage bout that we finally left. It was a long morning. Lori says she has a really good feeling about the group number. Not sure when we will find out whether or not we made it. But it was way fun and a good experience! :)
