For those of you who don’t know, I went and participated in an audition to receive a scholarship (max $500) towards continuing my education at the conservatory in Milwaukee.
I had thought the audition went good, no major screw-ups except for one spot and one of the judges whom had taught me before in my Improvisation class even said that I had come along way in a year. So I go and check the mail a little while ago and I find the results in there and they are…
“This year we had a large number of musicians participating in the annual Scholarship Auditions. Unfortunately not everyone could receive an award. The judges were impressed with the high level of performances in each department. They also commented on the obvious amount of preparation that was demonstrated by the participants. You certainly are to be commended for challenging yourself to compete at this level of quality in musical competition.”
*Big Groan*
…I still think I deserved something. I’m not even going to look at the judges comments as that will just depress me more. I guess I’m not cut out for playing Jazz after all. Now I can’t continue study there because I have no money left to go. I’m sure if I can score a job I can go back but until then, I’m stuck; it sucks because I really enjoyed studying there and I would have loved to join an ensemble. I don’t even feel like practicing anymore today…
Lame.
