thanks guys... hes pumped LOL i went last night and got him a karoke cd of the song. we've been practicing the song with me playing the piano for him. BUT my piano playing leaves much to be desired LOL ANYWAY tryouts hve been changed to tuesday and Wednesday because of all the people who want to try out for solos of one kind or another... He told me last night that if he didn't get to do it that it was ok... he wans't expecting to get chosen as USUALLY the Juniors and Seniors get most of the solo parts. He said there will always be next year and next year he'll be a Junior and almost guarenteed a solo part LOL..
