^^^@momcares – I’m certainly inclined to agree with you but I think the bigger risk is thinking our kid(s) is talented in the first place and discovering the hard way that woops, I guess they actually are not competitve. Posting a YouTube video won’t change that reality but it might invite some tough to read commentary. College admissions reps won’t go looking for kids that they don’t feel are talented in the audition room (assuming they even do at all which we don’t know for sure but very interesting example MTTwinsinCA).

My feeling is as long as whatever you post is a fair representation of their work, I don’t think there is any admissions-related risk and possibly a benefit if an audition left admissions curious but not convinced. On the off chance that is how it worked, I stuck a few clips on YouTube to be found. Likely it was never looked at but it was easy enough to do.
