For my competition music I'm stumped on what I want to skate to, I've put several songs on a playlist and I figure I'll give it to my coach and say surprise me. lol. I did that for the program I'm working on for Bronze Freestyle and she ended up picking the one at the top of my list, so she knows me well.
I have a definite song I WANT to skate to for Christmas because it's just beautiful and something I could skate to and keep up with and interpret well in my opinion. But with Christmas I will have to see how they're conducting it. I really would LOVE to solo, but because I've never soloed I honestly wonder if they'll let me. My friend and I are going to duet in the Halloween show which we have to start working on so maybe that'll at least show the skate directors I'm capable.
I just hope being a basic skills coach doesn't work against me and not let me do a solo, I don't see why they wouldn't but there's a lot of kids at the rink and I'm not sure how many people want to see a 23 year old skate. I don't want to get my hopes up but I want to solo so badly, I know I'm capable of doing it. Maybe if my coach and I show the skating director I am a capable skater then I will be able to, unless they up the requirements again... I would have been eligible to solo with the lts kids in spring (don't really want to do that at xmas) but I'd gotten knew skates and was having some trouble skating in them.
Ok I'm done rambling, I promise!
