^^An actor friend who played Frankie Valli in the Canadian cast of Jersey Boys is a frequent singer of the national anthems at the Blue Jays games. 
Ds current cast recently sang at a Cubs game for 40,000 of their closest friends. I like to think her college sports experiences helped prep her for that. 
1.). Donāt know about the instruments, but there is absolutely gender application issues for classical voice (ā¦tenors get all the scholarships andā¦sopranosā¦get all the loans)
2.). My d attends a school with no football program so at her first recital. He wanted to bring a homemade sign and air horn for when she took her bow. Fortunately he had to work that weekend
Wow this thread really got off track. You are out of state? Check this state site for the stats out of state JMU freshman have:

Look at Youtube and search āJMU Pretty Hurts.ā It gives me chills. Good luck.
