I look for my name on the list. Oh boy, I’m last. Why would they have to put me last? Oh well, at least I’m not going first. Man do I pity the poor colt who is.
Only three before me now. Is anyone else feeling warm? They should open a window. My hooves can’t stop shaking. How am I supposed to play the cello now?
My turn. Ok, just focus your breathing and you’ll be fine.

I look across the crowd, all of them have tears in their eyes. Are those because of how awful I sounded? Wait a second, they’re stamping their hooves for me. And there’s a light coming from behind me. My cutie mark! I finally got it! It’s… a treble clef mark? That doesn’t make sense, I play in bass clef. Oh well, MY BUCKING CUTIE MARK!!!

I actually wrote two entries for this, but went with the better one, this one, for the actual submission.
