<p>@jazz: In order to experience success, sometimes you need to take risks, especially when you are young and resilient. As a mom, I can feel your uneasiness but I also understand that those type of opportunities are rare and need to be explored when they are given to you! There will always be college and Thorton will probably be supportive and thrilled for him. When my s was auditioning there last month, the Director of Admissions did mention that they had several pop students already signed. Since it is such a young program, I am sure there will be more, especially since they take only the best. Best of luck to your son in whatever he does. You should be so proud!</p>
