Dearest Ashely,
Remembered you had your 2nd audition on 17 Sep, my birthday? You practised hard for your audition songs almost every night. However, on the actual day, we were caught by surprise as they brought you guys to the dance studio instead of the stage. There, the Disney folks measured your height, trained you guys on your vocal, dance moves and acting skills. After waited for an hour, you came out and told Mummy you were selected for the next audition on 18 Sep.
When we came back the next day, we were informed this was the last audition and you were among the 7 Finalists out of the 100 contestants. While waiting for you outside, Mummy learned from other 6 Mummies that their boys aged 10 and 11 had prior musical and stage experience. Though this is your very first Musical audition, you had done exceptionally well to make it to the finals. Regardless of the outcome, Mummy is very proud of you as you have gone very far and you have done your best.
After waited for 3 hours, the audition door was opened and we could see you guys practising your piece. You guys were great singers and dancers. Despite the long hours of audition and no lunch, you guys still look so energetic and enjoying every moment. That's the spirit.
Am sure you will always remember your 1st Musical audition - though competitive, you guys had so much fun together. You got to witness the high standard of performance by each boy. As you analysed, you're no. 2 in singing and dancing; no.3 in acting and martial moves (you could do the cartwheel but not the worm). Am glad to hear such objective competitive analysis from you.
The results will be out in Oct. Mummy is keeping my fingers and toes crossed. In my eyes, you already won the Simba role. Too bad, Mummy is not the judge.
As Mum and Dad always say to you, it is the journey that matters the most, not the end results. If you get the Simba role, it will be a great bonus. If not, you have learned so much during the 3 auditions and that is invaluable. In fact, you will be better prepared for the next Musical audition. Your dream of playing Suko in Aang Musical may just come true. Afterall, you're just 8 years old and you have a long way to go. Mum, Dad and Abby will support you all the way! Cheers!
Lots of hugs and kisses,
Your Mummy Dearest
