Big Week!

So, as some of you know, my phone interview with Disney was last Tuesday. I think it went GREAT!My interviewer asked me general questions like why I wanted to work for Disney, a few scenario questions, and asked me about my previous work/volunteer experiences. I was sick with a horrible cold/cough/ear infection that lasted over a WEEK! But during my interview I had no need to cough, my voice sounded good and I didn't feel sick at all! Afterwords though,when the adrenaline went away I was reminded that I was indeed sick. Truly a blessing! :) I wont find anything for a few weeks, my interviewer said three weeks, but I think it could be longer. I got an email saying that I will find out anytime before April 25! If Amber and I don't get in, I think it will be because we applied for the internship so late (late meaning not the day applications went live), and we only applied for Disneyland and not Disney World. But whatever happens is supposed to happen! If I don't get in this time, I'll try out again for the next semester! :)
And yes, I did wear my Mickey ears during the interview.

This past Thursday I went with my group, MCO, and recorded our Christmas album at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Downtown Phoenix. The church was so beautiful, there was stained glass windows all over and when the sun was setting it cast this golden hue throughout the hall! And the acoustics in the place were AMAZING!

I couldn't find a picture of the inside of the church here in Phoenix, but I did find a similar image for the church in Illinois. It's slightly different, but still beautiful!

It was an amazing experience! It was a long and tiring 9 hours of recording but it will be so worth it once we hear the final product! Be ready for some great Christmas music later this year!! :)

P.S. Our album Messiah in America that we recorded in June of 2011 at Abravanel Hall debuted at #1 on the Billboard Traditional Classical charts!! 

Disney?

My sister Mimi and I have always dreamed of one day working for Disney making movies or doing something AWESOME! I love Disney with all my heart, my family and I even have annual passes this year.. that expire in April :(.After much thought and deliberation, one of my best friends Amber, and I have made the decision to apply to intern for the Disney College Program! It's a paid internship for 5 months, August-January, and we'd get into the parks for free! And we'd get to work for DISNEY! How awesome is that?! Well, both Amber and I have applied, got invited to take the web based interview, and now all that's left to do is to have a phone interview! Mine is tomorrow at 11:30. I'm kinda freaking out about this step! I haven't had to interview for a job since I worked for the symphony when I was 18! And to top it off, I've been fighting a cold/sickness thing, so my voice is not at it's best! Anyways, I hope we both get it. I mean, why wouldn't we? We're THE BEST! 

Any and all positive thoughts are welcome! :)

2012!

I have a feeling that 2012 is THE year.

I graduate school this year with my degree in sound design, I'm going to film school next. Who knows what's in store, but I feel that it's going to be awesome!

Well, of course it's going to be awesome...I started out my year off right by celebrating New Years at the most happiest place on earth!

And man was it happy making! :)

And packed. I've never seen so many people there before! I've been for New Years before too! There's seriously no crowd like a Disney crowd, though. Usually I get super claustrophobic, but I don't even notice it there!

The CD that we recorded in Salt Lake, Messiah in America, has debuted #1 in Billboard's Traditional Classical charts!! MCO starts recording a Christmas album towards the end of this month, get ready for awesome music this upcoming winter!!

I can't wait to see what this new year brings! :) :) :)
