audisi

2 minggu ini aku ikut audisi worship team (band) di gereja..

audisi pertama, senin, 6 april 09,
i had no idea how was the audition would be.. jumat sebelumnya, aku cuma dikasih tau suruh siapin lagu "Free- planet shaker" sama "Mighty to Save- Hillsongs" Lebih dari itu, aku belom tau lagunya itu yang mana.. Dengan keterbatasan sarana dan prasarana, ga ada keyboard, udah lama ga main keyboard, mulailah mikhal mengulik lagu.. cari-cari chord n dengerin gimana mainnya.. Dapet kabar dari sherley, katanya Ribka ada keyboard di kamarnya.. "waw.. ada pencerahan!!" langsung deh kontak ribka, mau numpang latian disana..

hari H, mikhal ditemani jean, sherley, andreas, yosia dateng ke tempat audisi.. seneng banget deh banyak yang support.. thx all :) mungkin ada 20an peserta audisi, mayoritas gitar (as usual), bass, 1 drummer, 5 keyboardis.. jadi ternyata, ada band asli dari worship team, terus peserta audisinya disuru replace mereka sesuai posisi..
Keyboardis termasuk yang terakhir2 audisinya.. jadi lumayan bisa denger2 dulu gimana model mainnya.. dan ternyata,, mikhal peserta audisi keyboard pertama..
untungnya cuma disuru main lagu worship aja (Mighty to Save- Hillsongs), ga full, paling cuma sampe chorus pertama.. terus, setelah itu, tiba2 para judges minta main yg lain, "Do u know any city harvest songs? *terus dia sebutin beberapa judul yang gw lupa-lupa-inget lagu apa itu*" terus disuru main intro.. Kan gw ga inget judulnya yaah,, gw bilang aja,, "Bisa kasi tau aku itu lagu yang ky gimana?" terus gitarisnya mainnin dikit...
mikhal : "ohhh.. yg ini.. oke2" yauda gw main intronya..

selesai audisi, yosia jadi ngeledekin mulu deh.. "Weitss.. jago nih.. disuru main apa aja juga bisa.."

hari jumat, di pelajaran math a yang membosankan *hehe*, tiba2 HP bergetar.. mikhal langsung keluar menerima telp dari nomor tidak dikenal
"Hi mikhal. this is Abel from church, remember? About the audition for the worship team, we want u to go to the 2nd audition, Wednesday, 8 pm. We want to listen more, how the way u play.. (Waaw.. gw langsung senyum2.. asiikk.. audisi 1 lewat!!) ......" terus dia kasih tau lagunya dll..

Singkat cerita, Rabu ikutan audisi lagi, sekarang pesertanya tinggal dikit, ada 3 orang peserta audisi jg yang uda diconfirm masuk team. Main lagu "I Surrender All, TW" the audition did going well.
Dan kemarin, kamis, Andrew, keyboardis yg liat aku main kemaren nelp

A: "Do u want to know the result for the audition? Well.. u said u had played in the church before, right.. What kind of church is it? Is it like city harvest or more traditional?"
M : "More traditional one"
A : " Ok. from the way u play, i think u have potential, but for now, i think u can listen to more band songs like hillsongs, gmb to learn how they play in the band.. because when u play in the band sometimes there's part when u dont play.. So try to practice more with those songs.. For now, u dont have to join the worship team practice, i want to hold u for 2 months, then when the next audition come, maybe 2 months later, i hope i can see u there, we want to see ur progress"
M : "Ohh.. oke2 maybe it's also bcos i hv never played kboard since i came here.."
A : "There's no kboard in ur place? Hmm i think it's better for u to buy a simple kboard, for u to practice.. hhehe.. Ok i'll be glad if u join the next audition.. see u soon.."

So, that's the result..
gapapa kok ga langsung main sekarang.. supaya aku bisa denger lebih banyak lagu2 gereja juga, soalnya aku pun merasa, masih banyak lagu yang aku ga familiar.. mungkin ini juga bikin aku ga sombong, biar bisa practice lagi.. maybe i can start play in the cell group,which is also good.. Moreover, mungkin sekarang timing nya jg ga gitu pas, bentar lagi mau final exam, mau urus2 masuk uni, balik indo, pindahan..
Jadi i think this is not bad at all.. I think this is not a rejection or somethin like that.. and i can accept it gladly :)
