Grad school auditions over, bring on the final four!

So I had my Duq audition on Friday. I think it went ok. I sang well, they were excited that I was a tenor. I don't think there are many Tenor Grad students around. Hopefully that plays into my favor. They had me sight sing, which I haven't done in a year an a half. I didn't do as well as I knew I could, I think nerves got the best of me. Then they played different chords and had me either sing the top, middle, or bottom note. Ok, now I know I can do this, but for some reason I was messing up. I wanted to smack myself and say Ryan, come on you can do this just take your time. Oh well, not that big of a deal, we'll see what happens. I'm just glad auditions are over. Now I can focus on the important things, like WVU in the Final Four!! I am so excited, I missed the elite eight game on Saturday due to my brothers Musical. They did really well, excellent. Probably the best high school musical I have ever seen. They did Cats, and it was phenomenal! I couldn't be more proud of my brother, he was one of the leads and was just amazing, I'm a little jealous of how good of an over all performer he is. Anyways, so I missed the game. i am NOT missing the game on Saturday though. I am really excited, Molly is coming up Friday and staying till whenever for the game. I am stoked I haven't seen Molly since New Years!! It should be a lot of fun. I have no idea what's going to happen to Morgantown on Saturday, especially if we win. I can't wait. Everything else in my life is going pretty good, me and Dan are doing well so is his practice. His patient base doubled this past week! So everything is going well, enjoying this weather, subbing a lot, band is improving, have 30 piano/voice students, and auditions are over!!

Just watching some bball

So, I'm just sitting here watching Pitt play some basketball and I was thinking I haven't done this in a while. So here it goes. I had my WVU audition on Friday, and I think it went pretty well, I will hear if I made it in a week or so. I am really hoping for some money or a GA position or something! I have my Duqusene audition this Friday, which I am kind of split about, do I really want to go to Duq? It's a good school, but I just really love WVU and feel comfortable here and feel like I could have more opportunities here. We'll see what happens. The Band job is going ok, the kids are playing well, especially since most of the rehearsal time for them is out of school. I really appreciate how much they practice at home, I wish I had time during the period to let them know. Maybe after the concert I'll throw them a little party while we watch the video. I just feel right now that I have no idea what I am going to be doing with my life, maybe that is why I am going back to Grad School. I don't know, I just hope I can figure it out sometime soon! Nothing really else is new, I still get to see Dan like every weekend, so that is great. His business is starting to pick up more and more every week. Nothing else is really going on, just praying Pitt can pull this game off! I never thought I would say that.
