In my school, 7th grade was the earliest you could be in the high school musical. This was THE big production of the year, and one of the major events (aside from the homecoming football game, and the corn festival). EVERYONE wanted to be in it, especially me. I had only been in this town for two years, so i was still a "new kid" and wanted to do really well and get a great part so I could make friends and fit in.

Everyone was talking about how "hair" was going to be the musical, so I prepared an elaborate song and dance number, LOTS of choreography, there was a chair involved. There were about 20 of us waiting for them to start the auditions, so I was practicing my choreography. One of the seniors asked me what I was doing, so I told them. They said "okay" and went back to their seat. After about 15 minutes, they started rehearsals.

We were called on stage one at a time and asked to sing 3 lines from a pre-selected song, while standing still.

oops.

Needless to say, my "theatrics" did nothing to improve my popularity, but I DID get the part of "Pepper" in Annie, which was what the musical ACTUALLY was.
