S just received invite to audition from Frost (yeah!). Only problem is that the date is 2/8 and he’s auditioning at Thornton on 2/10. Trying to figure out logistics (and cost) of changing tickets to an NYC-MIA-LAX-NYC route and a little concerned about that travel ringer. Anyone have any thoughts?

106

@jazzboydad That’s a rough schedule! Though I think it’ll be fine since you do get the Saturday to travel/chill and gain time. Good luck!

107

@jazzboydad, yikes, I agree that’s a rough schedule.

We are in a similar boat. My son requested to change his U Mich audition from 2/1 to 1/31, but got word back today that 1/31 is full. So, he is doing a morning audition at U Mich on Friday 2/1, then flying from Detroit to LAX at 5:45pm for his UCLA audition which is Saturday, 2/2 at 9:00am. Then his USC audition is the following Saturday, 2/9. Notwithstanding the very good advice from the CC music community to spend the week in L.A. in between UCLA and USC auditions, our work schedules won’t really allow us to do that so he will be flying back to NY from LA (with parent #1) on 2/2, only to head back to LA (with me) on 2/7 for his 2/9 audition.

108

@jazzyboydad : ouch. Rough. On the positive side, you’re gaining time, so you can “sleep in” a bit when you get to LA - which will help a lot.

109

@jazzboydad I would suggest arriving a day or two early to Miami, so it’s not a packed and pressurized trip…then the actual audition can be the very last thing you do there, so y’all can focus on Thornton from there on out. Perhaps try for a morning audition time in Miami, as well. Also, try to avoid any plane changes/layovers anywhere there might be winter weather (between FL and CA), and I think you’ll be ok!

110

Congrats @jazzboydad . There’s good news / bad news with your NYC-MIA-LAX-NYC travel schedule.

  • Bad News: American is the only airline that does MIA - LAX nonstop, and there are limited flights. Hopefully you can be flexible with your airline. If not, your 5-ish hr flight will turn into 8-10 hrs of travel. If you end up having to fly a different airline (like Delta or United), make sure you connect through a city in the south (Atlanta for Delta, Houston for United); flights through Chicago, Denver, Minneapolis, or Detroit will have a high likelihood of getting delayed due to weather.
  • Good News: the westbound travel will make the trip MUCH easier because you’ll get 3 hrs back, and that is non-trivial.

Best of luck!

111

@jazzyboy we always fly into ft lauderdale, it’s a little bit of a drive but direct and inexpensive flights. There’s a new train if you’re not renting a car. Let me know if you have questions about this. My dad lives there and we do this a lot.

112

Wow @lkbux64 your travel sounds crazier than ours! Wife and I may tag team this one–me doing round trip to MIA, wife round trip to LA and S doing the NYC-MIA-LAX-NYC trip. Also spoke to someone at Peabody who said his group will be auditioning sometime between 2/18 and 2/20 so he could end up traveling more than 8,000 miles to do 4 auditions in 10 days!

113

@lkbux64 @jazzboydad It’s just practice for what their lives will be like when they become famous touring musicians :slight_smile:

114

@jazzboydad I accidentally tagged the wrong person in my earlier post “we always fly into ft lauderdale, it’s a little bit of a drive but direct and inexpensive flights. There’s a new train if you’re not renting a car. Let me know if you have questions about this. My dad lives there and we do this a lot.”

115

Just heard from BU, DS very excited to have passed the prescreen!

116

@Music2023 - Same here!! My S is super excited as well.

117

Final audition schedule, with all prescreens responded (D, BM Cello performance):
Boston University- 2/1
Oberlin- 2/9
Eastman- 2/15

118

Anyone waiting to hear from Curtis?

119

I spoke to someone at Peabody today who said they would send out confirmation emails for jazz auditions “within the next week or week and a half” but likely sessions will most likely be one or more days between 2/18 and 2/20.

Thanks for all of the suggestions for our S’ tour and good luck to all!

120

Thanks for the Peabody update @jazzboydad! My son is hoping for an audition there as well and, after two cross-country trips in a week, it will be nice to have a 2+ week break before his next audition and an easy Acela ride to Baltimore! Good luck to all!
