AUDITIONING FOR BLUE LAKE

   I was super nervous as I walked into the farthest practice room on the right. The man who worked at Blue Lake Fine Arts camp (BLFA) was waiting for me. I was wondering if I could do as good as Ellie. She had gone just before me and I was about to play the same song as her.

   "How are you?" said the man.

   "Good," I replied. I was starting to feel a bit more confident.

   "What's your name?" He asked.

   "Alex," I said

  "Okay, Alex, are you ready?"

   "Yes."

   "Go ahead."

   I started to play French Folk Song hoping that my violin was well-tuned. The more I played, the more confident I grew. I had only played the first line or so when-

.   "Alex," He said.

   I didn't quite understand what he said.
 
   "What?" I asked

   "You're all set," The man replied.

   Wow, I thought, That was fast.

    I started to walk out the door. 

   "Wait," he said and handed me a small piece of folded paper.

   The cover had many pictures and read:

   Blue Lake
   It all starts here.

   I walked out of the practice room, knowing I did well. I hadn't made any mistakes and as I played I heard a nice, full, smooth sound.
