timing sucks., can anyone relate? Options

[*stephinika*]

yeah. timing is a bitch i've decided. let me tell you my little story.

at my dance class last week, my teacher pulled me and one other girl aside to talk to us and she handed us this letter and told us to read it and respond asap. apparently one of the teachers from my dance studio who taught the (for the lack of a better term) "higher up" classes is the choreographer for this big show being put on in vancouver later in april (april 23 to be exact) this year for the 2010 olympics. the letter was an invite for us to be a part of the 100 or so dancers in it. this was a huge event and it's apparently going to be televised across canada...she actually picked us to be a part of it, and that was an honour in itself.
the only requirement if asked? to be able to attend all of 2 rehearsals and the day of the run-through and show...my parents even said yes when i asked them. the problem? the day of the run-through/show i have a dance competition within the time frame i would be needed...and therefore i can't do it.
how frustrating! grr...
so has anyone else had experiences with crappy timing?
