new musical. One evening after school musical practice finally started. Exhausted after class, I grudgingly sat down around the piano while I waited to the music to start and practice to begin. At 3 o’clock we began to learn our required songs for our audition. Our school play is the Wizard of Oz and I decided that I wanted to audition for Dorothy, the Tin Man, and the Good Witch.
