<p>My D is a junior and plans to audition for 14 schools next year. We are going to do 6 at Unifieds and the rest on campus between late September and the last weekend of January. Living in the northeast helps with that as most of our schools are within driving distance.
We are splitting it up for two main reasons. One, it seems to make sense not to cram too much into one weekend. If my D is overwhelmed and stressed she could make a mistake. She generally enjoys auditions, but still. It is stressful. The second reason is that the first weekend in February is at the peak of cold and flu season. What if we had nearly every audition scheduled for Unifieds weekend and she was sick?? Disaster. So by spreading it out I feel like we are leaving ourselves some time to play with in case of bad weather or illness.
To be honest I didn’t really think about whether it was better to be on campus or at Unifieds. I just tried to make a plan that fit everything in in a reasonable fashion and left us some wiggle room if needed.</p>
