Thanks for the heads up. My D is so darned eager to do her CMU audition that I doubt she will care where in Purnell the auditions take place. She is looking forward to seeing the faculty members with whom she worked last summer, so she can show 'em that she took their comments and ran with them! (I can see having the kids sing and do monologues in the teachers' offices, but am guessing the dance call will be held in a studio, right?)

Yep. Sorry, I should have been clear about that... Dance audition was in a studio.

Another parking alternative is the enclosed lot by the playing field (also on Forbes)--just a tiny bit further to walk, and you can cut through a building on the way to the Purnell Center if it's really cold. It's open on the weekends for sure, and although you take a ticket to raise the arm to enter, you don't need to pay to activate the ticket and get out of the lot.

Length of Song at Audition
I see that this was mentioned several weeks ago on this thread, but I'm just obsessing and looking for clarification. For the songs, 16 bars, 32 bars, or the whole thing? Thank you!

My D auditioned on campus on 1/26 and they asked for 16 bar cuts, if I am remembering correctly. (We just returned from NYC Unifieds, so it's all beginning to run together, like a watercolor painting left out in the rain. How's that for poetry, folks?) Some of the kids were surprised, as the CMU Web site seems to indicate you can sing through the whole song. If you're smart, you will have 16- and 32-bar cuts ready, just in case. It may have to do with how many they are auditioning on a given day.

Thanks NMR. My S auditioned in NY Thursday and Saturday. Now we're in Chicago for more auditions. The city is beautiful and the weather is dreadful. My S will be prepared to sing whatever is asked for. Best wishes to your D and you.
