Audition Tour 2016

Submitted by on 2/16/2016

Vancouver - Feb 15 

Sitting in the Vancouver airport at 5:45 a.m. waiting for our delayed flight to Calgary. Yesterday's audition in Vancouver went well - met some charismatic and skilled performers. Special thanks to guest teacher Kieren Bohay and volunteer and demonstrator Sarah Stewart for an amazing dance audition class. Will check in from Calgary.

Calgary - Feb 16

After a wonderful audition in Vancouver, we encountered a four hour delay for our flight to Calgary.  Luckily, alumna Nicki Norsworthy was performing in The Little Prince with Theatre Calgary, so she was able to save rhe day and start the audition on our behalf.  Once we made it to the Youth Singers of Calgary studio and met the hopeful and enthusiastic auditionees, we were able to relax and take in the talent.   We were even brought lunch by the ever charming Alistair  Smart.   Long but rewarding day.

Regina - Feb 18

We said goodbye to the Calgary skyline bright and early and arrived at Saskatchewan  Express in Regina on Thursday.  Lots of talented folks, wicked senses of humor, and playful day. Thanks Nora Berg for the beef stroganoff and for helpers; grad Jaemoon Lee and current student Kenni Chomyn.  And, as always, thanks for the welcome Carol Gay Bell.

Woke up to the sunrise on this Haligonian skyline.  Caught Jacqueline  in a moment of respite at the King George before we left for the Halifax Dance Studio to meet our auditionees from Nova Scotia.  George offered encouragement at the dance call and alumna Kayla Coolen shared her experience with the hopefuls.
