@EmsDad i’m so glad I’m reading this now (about having a current song in your book) and not two months ago. My d would have flipped out. Thankfully, no one asked her to sing anything current. She was asked if she had “anything higher” by a well known school. She is not a soprano, so she didn’t (she named the highest thing she had in her book, and they said ‘nothing higher than that?’). That was disappointing to her. But hey, you can’t be what you’re not, right?
Ironically, since the college auditions, she now has a current song and a pop song in her book, because of a recent (non college) audition that required both. Slowly but surely, they build up their repertoire.
