Round 2 Auditions

What an awesome experience to see such amazing and extraordinary singers. Day one started with primary and then onto junior High school. By 11 am I knew we were in for a very very tough time. We wanted to accept all. The standard was brilliant.
By 6pm Sunday we had seen over 120 auditions finishing with Year 12. The show would indeed be 9 hours long if I could take all the great singers we heard. There was pop and classical and punk and swing and jazz and pop and rock and fantastic original compositions and brilliant covers. Sorry if I'm raving but it was all that good.
We could do an original concert. A country special. A swing show.and so much more.
The confidence and natural ability that shone through in the presentation were to be the defining factors.....then the show could be somewhere between 5 and 6 hours long. Truly it has that much potential.
One particular audition (the best I have seen in 16 years) left me with the feeling I had sneaked into the audience of a top line professional act without paying. Yes it was that good. What an amazing show it will be with all this talent ....and that's just the singers
