Meet the New 'A Team' Alternate

On Saturday last, I tried out for the USU Big Band Swing Team. Arriving at ten o' clock, We learned a solo Charleston routine. It was really hard. The air conditioner in the room we tried out in didn't work either. We performed the solo routine in groups of five. I messed up the last phrase of the song. But I kept moving and smiling. After a short break, we learned a couples routine. Each of us had to dance with a judge. I did really well on that part. I'm not supposed to know which team I'm on yet, but because the coach happens to be a good friend of mine, I was able to winkle the information out of him. I am the alternate for the A team. So I learn the routine, and then if another couple can't make it to the performance, my partner and I go in their place. I also get to go to Colorado to compete at the end of March. I'm pretty excited that I made the team!
