Sending e-mails/letters thanking the faculty after your audition- Necessary?

My S sent thank you notes only to those programs that he really was strongly interested in. He kept it short and sweet and did not ask any questions in the email. He maybe sent four emails out of his twenty plus auditions. All the schools he emailed sent emails back. One or two of the response emails were highly engaging and they connected my son with students or other faculty - the others were kind but less personal. It never hurts to send a thank you as long as you keep it short and to the point. But if you choose not to, that is just fine too. It never hurts to thank you in life when an experience truly impacted you.
