Now that I'm sane enough to talk about this rationally I'll make my post. Needless to say the audition did not go the way I wanted it to. Not that it went awful by any means, actually looking at it from a sane angle it went really well for a first audition. I forgot a word but recovered quickly and smoothly which is more than I can say for most people. I was stopped before the chorus so they didn't get to hear what I can do but it wasn't something I could control so I'm trying not to dwell on it. My skin and hair cooperated and my outfit was super cute so I'm happy with how I looked for it which is more than I can say for some singing things I've done. There were tons of people there I would guess over 500 and there were more coming in when I left around noon. They were very ... efficient. In the information we were giving about preparation it said 1 minute which I thought was short but fair. We definitely did not get a minute. I sang a verse which is around 30 seconds, some singers got less, one guy got around 45 seconds. The dancers got way less time than the singers, they got 15 maybe 20 seconds. I felt so bad watching them because they started and then before they had time to do anything they were stopped. It was awful to watch. The first guy in my group totally choked which made me more nervous and I can't even imagine how he felt. We had to stand at the side behind this tape line during the performance before ours which was stressful, my hands were shaking. If we weren't performing or waiting to perform we were sitting in chairs at the side watching everyone. They made the entire experience as stressful as possible so I was very happy to have a friend with me the whole time, except when I was in the room auditioning. I'm glad I did it and at the very least I've had the experience and I know how to prepare better for next year. I wish it had gone better but it went well enough.
