| Love these guys! |
So, around one year ago, I auditioned for what would potentially be the coolest job I've ever had.
I sang 3 songs, and then I had to sit and listen to everyone else audition, talk about nerve wracking!
At the end of the audition, I was told I would hear from them in the next couple of days.
...I hate waiting.....
I couple days later, I get a call from a number I don't know, but from the area code, I can tell it's from Osage Beach. Now, at the time I was working in a rock quarry, for those of you that have never been in a quarry, it's a giant hole in which there is very little cell service. So I see the number calling, but I can't answer the phone, ugh!
After an excruciating amount of time, I finally had a voicemail come through on my phone, it was Dan, the bandleader! He wanted to meet with me to talk! After a brief meeting with him, and the show owners, I was offered a job!
This all went down in February and the show started in April, so we started rehearsals quickly.
We do 2 shows during the summer, and a Christmas show (obviously around Christmas :) ).
During the summer, we have a "Reelin' In the Years" show, which consists of music from the 60's, 70's and 80's, and our Opry Show, which is more of a variety show with new and old country music with a little 40's and 50's and other popular music thrown in. It's an eclectic show, to say the least. :)
Needless to say, the last year of my life has been one awesome roller coaster ride, and I'm so ridiculously glad to say that I have a job that most little girls want to have when they grow up.
I dress up like a princess (and numerous other people/things), I get to sign autographs, and most importanly to me, I get to sing; one of my favorite things in the world. :)
Now, going into my second season at Main Street Music Hall, I have decided that it might fun to blog about the happenings. This is the beginning, I hope you all enjoy it, and that I can do the experience some justice.
