I was dead last in my audition, the odd one out in a group that wasn't divisible by three, and I made it on, so *shrug*

Vancouver invitations have been sent out. Hooray for a 30 minute drive.

Mine's on February 24 at 10:00 AM

*I did the online test last September or October and got ~42
*I attended an in-person audition in Dallas in early 2012

Good luck to everyone else who's coming.

Charlotte invites are going out now, so far I've heard nothing about me getting to go.

Someone I know has an audition on the 23rd of February.

Anyone else get one, and post your test score if you know it.

In my audition, the first 2 people called had last names beginning with B & C - B already made the show, C was me ;)

I know it might be different, but at my SJ! audition they called people up based on where you were sitting. I was in the front row with 2 other people and we went first and it proceeded like that to the back of the room.

back to having no choice of audition city...not that my strategy has helped me get randomly chosen to audition anyway. At least I won't have to travel.

ETA: now I get an email to tell me I've registered...but:

"we do not currently have a date for the test, bu we will let you know as soon as one is announced..."

uh, yeah you do have a date, that's why you allowed me to register...
