Who: Dawn and Open
What: Performing Arts Auditions
Where: The WD Theater (unless it has another name)
When: Friday
Rating: PG (unless someone has a weird audition piece)

Dawn wasn't nervous. She kept telling herself that as her fingers knotted together in their separate pockets. There were so many auditioning though. She had two pieces prepared, along with a song, different from the one she'd use later for the Acapella Group auditions, though she wasn't sure which monologue the judges would like better. Both were truly emotional and the first one required her to cry, to show the range of her abilities, her Aunt Flora had said. Now looking around, she just might cry from nerves.

Putting a determined, cheerful face on, she made her way down the aisle to sign her name up and get a number. Thankfully, she was fifth, not too close to the front, or the end, so she could see what the others performed and the reactions the judges had. The Acapella Group came after Drama, but she signed up there too. She was third on that list. Then she made her way over to another person waiting to audition.

"Is this seat taken?" she asked politely. There were other seats, but small talking helped her forget the flutter of her stomach.

Jude wasn't waiting to audition. He'd been in the A Capella group since his freshman year, and was pretty much the anchor of the tenor section. Perfect pitch was one of those things that tended to come in handy in the harmony lines. He was supposed to be helping judge (and really, he wondered if that meant that he might be asked to be the pitch pipe this year, but he wasn't a senior and he wasn't proud enough to assume he was talented enough to be given special consideration), but right now, he was mostly exhausted after the first week of classes and he still had a Mass tonight to do. So he had taken an open seat and just let the others help hand out numbers as he'd tried to regroup, leaning his forehead on the handle of his cane and debating the merits of pain medicine now, or pain medicine later.

However, at the sound of a girl's voice--talking to him, no less--his head popped up like a startled prairie dog. "What? Oh, no. No, it's not, have a seat."

"Oh thanks," Dawn said with a relieved sigh, sitting. "I'm not really nervous about the auditions, but since I’m new here to boot, I am a little…tremulous... I guess is the word. My stomach gets all fluttery and my hands shake a bit. Though I’m fairly sure of the pieces I picked to audition with at any rate. Normally when I get really nervous I start babbling just a bit, but I haven’t been,” she sighed, “Well I am now, aren’t I?”

For the first time she really looked at the boy sitting next to her. He looked slightly pained. And she hadn’t noticed the cane before. Well, when she was in a flurry of nerves, she never could notice anything else. “Are you all right?” she asked, her tirade of nerves cut off in concern for him.

	Dawn laughed nervously, "Thanks. I'll remember that. Normally, once I start and get really into what I'm doing, I become the character and they're all that matters. Y'know? Like I'm really them, so it doesn't matter that they're judging me. It's just getting to that point that unnerves me. "Are you auditioning too?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Adella walked into the theater, carrying an upright bass on her back, and an electric bass in her hands. She wasn't sure which they would want to hear, so she carried both. She liked the sound of the upright bass, but she played the electric instrument when she had to work at the restaurant. (Reply to this)

	Jude paused, caught a little off-guard by the assertion, but he let it slide. He'd snapped at people before when he was feeling particularly bad. It happened. He wasn't one to get offended at that sort of thing, anyway. People meant to be good, they just struggled sometimes, he knew that. "Okay," he said simply. "I'm sorry if I implied that, I didn't mean to." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Sixteen. In February." Fish reluctantly admitted. "Getting an early start. You're a freshman too? Freshwoman I should say, I guess. Uh...D'you know how many people they're gonna take?" If the other girl was the general level of the competition, he didn't have a chance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
