I am very pleased to announce that my daughter will be attending James Madison University for vocal performance. We spent the day there yesterday and she couldn't have been happier with the students, the teachers, the one act opera production, the gorgeous weather. It looks and feels to her like college should.

Thanks so much - she was very fortunate to have some great choices and was really shocked at what a difficult decision it was. In the end, she wanted everything and felt that JMU offered it.

Cartera- Congrats on JMU!! I know a JMU grad who was a MT major there, and is currently a dancer on the national tour of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. She loved her time there!

My D has decided that she will be going to U North Texas on a scholarship to their wonderful vocal jazz department. I know she is excited because she went online and ordered a sweatshirt last night!

I'm pleased to announce that S has decided to attend Tufts/NEC in composition.

I suspect that he may add violin performance back in later once he's determined that he can withstand the rigors of the double degree and the commute between schools. He's excited and we're all glad the process is over. Now he can focus on finishing the year strongly and the many musical opportunities that have suddenly fallen into his lap.

Thanks all for sharing your insights, experiences and advice so willingly. It made the journey a bit less stressful and a lot more enjoyable.

Aaarrrgh! We are still waitlisted, so I wish I could post our final decision, but can't yet. This is as nervewracking as waiting for the letters to come! C'mon Northwestern!
