Oh, yes–staying super busy after auditions are done is absolutely recommended no matter what one chooses to do during the months of actual auditions! I also suggest picking up a new hobby or learning something new. For D, this included ceramics and glass jewelry making lessons on top of her regular activities, plus lots of day trips and even more little weekend trips. The added bonus is that I took the art classes with her and we went on those trips together; I cherished every second, knowing she’d be leaving in a matter of a few months. Plus, I had to do this stuff, too, or I may have gone nuts, as well!
