<p>DS’s circle of friends was a music oriented one in high school, and yes, it wasn’t huge. BUT he has several VERY good friends from high school with whom he still visits. I have to tell you, he keeps in touch with more HS friends than DD who is still in college and is NOT a music major. </p>
<p>However, the really good news was that his circle of friends grew hugely when he entered his college years (both undergrad and grad). AND his friends shared his very high interest in music.</p>
<p>The common adage I’ve heard is that friendships are based on common interests. For my kid, he was thrilled to have a circle of friends with the same passion for music that he had.</p>
