Failing an Audition

                While most people don’t think about the negative things involving music, there are many downsides that music has.  Music isn’t all bad, but sometimes it can make a person feel terrible.  Those depressing songs that make a person want to cry is an example.  Why was music created to make a person feel sad, music is supposed to be uplifting and music is meant for people to enjoy?  What about the auditions and many failures that a person experiences in their music career?  Those events can be very negative things that music has to offer.  Music is just another mystery in life that can be viewed positively and negatively.
                Failing an audition is terrible and can be heartbreaking.  All the time that a person took to prepare for the audition is wasted and feeling that a person isn’t good enough to make it in is even worse.  While failing an audition might be terrible, there are always good things that come from an audition.  Each audition helps a person have more confidence in playing in front of other people.  Musically, each person is better because of the experience of preparing for an audition and doing an audition.  While not getting accepted for an audition may feel life ending, it really isn’t. 
                While attending an audition, my experience was different compared to other people doing the same thing.  Each person has a different experience.  Some may have a wonderful experience because they were accepted, or felt comfortable in doing the audition because they were well prepared.  Other people may have a horrible experience because they weren’t accepted and they maybe weren’t as prepared so the whole experience was nerve-racking.  Tears are normally always shed during an audition.  A person may cry because they are so proud of themselves and can’t believe that they did a good job, while others may cry because they didn’t make it in and all of the time that they spent on it is now wasted and can never be taken back. 
                Once again, failing an audition may be horrible, but there are benefits.  Maybe it just wasn’t meant to be and there was something better out there.  Auditions are only small milestones in a person’s life and are only as important as a person makes them to be.
