Seems like yesterday I found this interesting site called College Confidential, with wise words from those who had been through the process. And fast forward 4 years later, and my D's last college performance on campus was yesterday (in Swing!!). Seems impossible to believe that 4 years ago we were sweating out how to finagle all the auditions around show choir competitions and the general life of a senior in high school. So as she prepares for senior showcase in NYC this coming spring, and starts auditioning for life beyond that, my thanks to all who have answered questions and help ease the path along the way.
And to those where I was 4 years ago, rest easy. It's a whirlwind but by and large your son or daughter will wind up where they are supposed to be (and a quick plug for Ball State, it is exactly where my D should have been and she has loved every minute there). And finally enjoy your time right now, the travel to auditions, Unifieds, and getting ready to head to campus. It is astounding how fast the time goes, and you won't get these moments back. Good luck to all, and if you're at Ball State for auditions this February look me up. I'll be the parent at the question and answer session sharing insight from a parent who's been there. Break a leg to all your children!
