<p>I’m relaxing and spending time at home, maybe get a job?</p>
<p>(i go to boarding school, so I’m not home much)</p>
<p>Ds, finishing his freshman year at Indiana, has plans to attend 2-3 music programs this summer. Two are for sure; the other one is a big maybe, since he probably will not be accepted for it. He will be a counselor at one, Marrowstone near Seattle, so he can get a reduced rate. The other one is near San Francisco. He sent a tape, hoping for a scholarship, and will be staying with another trumpet playing friend who lives nearby, so won’t have to pay room and board.</p>
<p>He also wants to give trumpet lessons to middle and high school students when he is home. And he wants to see if his church camp could use a trumpet player to help lead worship for a week or so. He may try for some part-time work, if it will fit in between music programs.</p>
<p>In other words, summer involves as much music as he can fit in.</p>
<p>My s. is doing an internship with GE Energy doing research and development. Its a great opportunity for him, but it keeps him in his college town and away from home. Actually, I am not sure he considers this “home” anymore…</p>
<p>first time at CTY for my youngest…sure hope some of your positive recommendations from your own HS student’s experiences hold true because I am sad to give him up for three weeks and hoping the counselors there are great people. Don’t have a class assignment just yet…he is excited about the courses offered.</p>
<p>Here’s another discussion about this

<p>over30: I believe so. It’s in the mountains where Georgia O’Keefe did all her painting.</p>
<p>Thought D would be home taking classes at UCLA and working this summer. She phoned this morning to tell us that she was selected for a newly established 10-week research internship for organic chem at her school. She won’t be home until July 12th…but it’s all good.</p>
