Thanks @GoForth and @YertleTurtle. I agree that I think it does depend on instrument. I’d heard another bass player from last year also got an early nod from Frost and others. Wondering if the vocal profs are that quick or do they tend to take longer to extend the invitations. GoForth did you say Purchase was a longer wait for the invitation? I looked back at your posts from Mezzo Mama’s thread last year and couldn’t really tell when Purchase came through. And again, you’re right as far as it probably depends on the professor for that discipline.
On the practice end of things D met with her vocal coach Tuesday and they are starting some new songs to broaden her repertoire and hone some new stuff for live auditions. It’s really nice though not to be under the gun to get anything recorded right now. That’s all done. That being said, her first audition is January 20 at Western Mich and she can audition with some of her prescreen material since they didn’t require a prescreen. For the rest she will need to bring something new to the table and plans to work with her vocal coach weeklyup her game and be ready. Given how much progress she has shown in just the past year from last year’s YoungArts submission to an enormous improvement in this year’s submission I have zero doubt that she will grow in the next few months. I really can’t wait to see her exponential growth in college!
