The Time I Auditioned For ZOOM

I hope everyone's been enjoying the full ZOOM episodes I've been uploading. I thought I would write about my experience trying out for ZOOM. I auditioned for season seven, the final season of ZOOM! I think I found out about auditions from the ZOOM website. I asked my parents if we could go, Boston isn't that far from us, and we go once in a while to see The Red Sox play. They called the studio and found out when to go. It was at WGBH studios. I think they had us waiting in the same room they shoot the different segments on ZOOM, it looks a lot smaller in person. It was about the size of my kitchen and living room. They had us sign in and had merchandise we could buy like the famous ZOOM t-shirts. They also had a big screen TV in the corner playing episodes of season five, the most recently aired season, and classic clips from the 70's ZOOM. When they called me and a bunch of other kids auditioning, we all went into a hallway area. Here they had us do a few exercises and games. I remember thinking they might have cameras watching us to see how we were when not knowingly filmed. I was myself anyway, telling the winners good job when my side lost whatever we did (I can't remember). We had six kids in our room when auditioning, each doing a talent. I wrote a poem about Fannee Doolee. I didn't know the rule of Fannee Doolee then, so it probably wasn't very good. We got some things for auditioning like a poster of the season five ZOOMers, and a ZOOMerang. I also was able to buy a blue ZOOM shirt they were selling. It was a lot of fun and a dream come true to have gotten to go to the studio. I didn't get a call back or anything, but I'm sure there were many more talented kids then me who auditioned. I was dissapointed when I found out that was going to be the final season of ZOOM, because I had hoped I would be able to try out again next year. I still have my ZOOM shirt:
