My daughter gave up the things she knew she couldn’t fully commit to. With traveling for auditions many weekends, it made no sense to audition for state choruses that rehearsed or performed on those weekends. Ditto her a cappella group that rehearsed on weekends. She took on fewer pieces in her dance show than previously because of the rehearsal time she would miss. She was fortunate that the director of her school musical and the choreographers she worked with in her dance show were willing to work around her college audition schedule, which she had to declare up front prior to casting. But absolutely, she was still breath-takingly extraordinarily busy, as I’m SURE all our kids are!
