Today Sophie had a gruelling day at an audition for "The Young Canadians of the Calgary Stampede" it started at 09:00 (which meant an 08:30 start for us.) She had an hour & a half audition which consisted of singing & then a dance class & did well enough to get a "call back notice."
That was for 4pm - we couldn't really leave because the hockey team were playing at the park so if we left we would never have got back in! Luckily there was a restaurant so we went for a long lunch & a couple of equally long walks to pass the time!
One thing to bear in mind was that she woke up this morning with a raging sore throat & stinking cold, so was feeling pretty rotten to boot!
They were running late so the call back didn't start until 4.30 in the end. That took another hour and a bit. However, the long & short of it is that she got in!!! over 100 girls & she got into the final 16 that made it. There are also 16 boys but there were only 19 to start with to choose from!
They perform the Grandstand show at the Calgary Stampede this July - so there are some very lucky Grandparents who will be seeing their Grandaughter perform in a very big show!!
For those of you who don't know what on earth I'm talking about here's a link to their website: http://www.theyoungcanadians.com/
If you still don't get it look up the Calgary stampede on Google!
Needless to say we're very, very proud of her right now!

Congratulations Sophie. Looking forward to seeing you at the Stampede performances. Your Dad said that we've got to get hats and boots. That should give you a laugh!
Well done Sophie, can't wait for some photos of the actual event. Good job your grandparents will be out to see you. Hope you enjoy it as much as Joseph.
