<p>DS and DD did their extra instrumental “stuff” through a precollege program at Hartt, but DS was in All State (as was DD), New England Music Festival and MENC Eastern Division. </p>
<p>Neither of them did choral work at their school and therefore could not audition for vocal all state (they didn’t care). Their choral work was done with a children’s chorus where they got a much more varied and challenging repertoire of music than the school offered. We supported this decision.</p>
