And let me add something else to this stew; playing Carnegie Hall is not as special as you may think. Promoter/packagers regularly rent the hall and schedule groups of Youth Symphonies to perform in blocks (so maybe 3 different Youth Symphonies play in a 2-hour segment).

Playing Carnegie Hall in one of the hall's own soloist series - now for that I'll take my hat off. Even renting the hall for yourself and carrying enough weight to get reviewed by the Times -- good enough for me.

Also, I hear A's are the most common grade at Harvard.
