I haven’t looked at these boards since last year, much less stressful to not have a kid in the game. I smiled at the question though. In her auditions last year, my kid had a few odd and funny curveballs. After singing one song, one audition panel asked her to sing the same song, but pretend she was on her way to the hospital in labour. I would’ve paid good money to watch it. At another, the accompanist bailed on the song after 3 bars, closed the book, and she just carried on a capella. At another, after waiting for hours, the auditioner said “I’m late for my flight, so I want you to sing 10 sec of both of your songs, and we will skip the monologues”. So I guess the message is stay relaxed, roll with whatever happens with a smile. She got into school #1 and #2 and took #3 off her list after that.
