<p>You are so right about music being a hook. D checked out the singing opportunities at each school she considered applying to even tho her intended major was IR. She only applied to schools where there were lots of options, Yale, Tufts and several others. For kids like ours, who have experienced the amazing “high” of honor choir weekends, singing is a MUST. It is what keeps D sane when doing the “serious” work of school. She calls her friends “broadway geeks” or “choir nerds” and loves everyone of them.</p>
