<p>Lol. And all I did was mention that my D got into Rider! Sorry folks. I kind if feel responsible. </p>
<p>I WAS going to mention that I have a non-MT S at University of Cincinnati who feels perfectly safe there. And my MT S practically lived at CCM every Saturday (and then some) from the time he was 11 and never ran into any trouble. But I think I missed my opening.</p>
<p>OKAY…LOL
I am away from CC just ONE DAY and look what happened.
I am glad I read everything through to the end, instead of throwing the computer through the window after the comments about “the ultimate auditor”. BTW, so excited about the “ignore” button! </p>
<p>and now for something completely different…
If there is anyone out there who has made or is familiar with the Fiona costume from Shrek-specifically the tear-away skirt for “Morning Person”…let me know. I need advice…message me.
On the plus side…this is the last costume I will ever make for D 
Oh NO! It is the last costume I will ever make for D 
</p>
<p>On another note, waiting for these financial aid packages are almost as hard as waiting for the acceptances.</p>
<p>@frazzled35 - I am with you about the darn financial aid award letters. D received her first from Pace last week and I almost had heart failure - and that’s with a large academic scholarship! Thank goodness the two we received this week were much more reasonable. Fingers crossed everyone gets good talent awards at their top choice school. </p>
<p>I am with you on FA - this may be as bad as waiting for acceptances. I am back to stalking the mail lady because I heard early Rider FA’s are going and boy do we need it for that school. We received PPU’s.</p>
<p>Oh and I was totally outed on the FB page…you know who you are LOL</p>
<p>MTMajorCook, I can’t even get on the darn FB page! How can I join it?? I wanna peak!</p>
<p>So I didn’t get on CC yesterday evening and DANG, what I missed. All of you are hilarious to me and all of you responded far more tactfully than I could have and therefore, remained silent. AND among all of these posts, I learned that there’s an ignore button! Wonderful news!</p>
<p>I agree that the wait for the FA packages and equally as bad as the decision wait! UGH!</p>
<p>I’m still on the page of an ignore button–hurray!
Financial aid–Yes. Excruciating. </p>
<p>:-@ So would’ve used this yesterday if I noticed it earlier LOL</p>
<p>on second thought, deleted those</p>
<p>Got a chuckle, thanks for sharing</p>
<p>LOL This was my favorite! The kids are loving this thread:</p>
<p>After my 16 bars, one of the panel judges informed me she was in the musical my excerpt was from. She sang the entire song to me. All 10 minutes of it, with accompaniment that was on her iPhone. She also performed my monologue. It was from a very obscure show too! I just walked out out so confused…</p>
<p>I read that whole thread last night! So funny. My D is not a heavy FB user, so I don’t think she’s read/responded - but my fave of her stories is from Indiana. As you know - UMich is extra strict about 16 bars - can’t be 16 bars give or take a few - it’s 16 bars OR LESS… so we scrambled and did new cuts for that audition. All went well. (well, she didn’t get into UMich - but the singing went fine). Fast Forward a week to her Indiana audition - as she nears the end of the song - as she sings out a long held note - she’s racking her brain… all she can remember is what comes next in the UMich cut - not her regular 16 bars. Decides she can’t hold the note forever - and just sings confidently what she knows will totally flummox the accompanist. Afterwards, she apologized to the pianist profusely - and then at the conclusion of the audition, when she was pointed to the door, she couldn’t find it (the room at Indiana has doors that blend right into the walls.) She’s in the corner and in a small voice calls back to the auditors “I think I’m lost?”. LOL - Happy ending to that story is she DID get in to Indiana! </p>
<p>@kategrizz, I LITERALLY laughed out loud at that story!</p>
<p>So sad…it’s a no for the S for Michigan…come on Miami!!!</p>
<p>Sorry MTMommaJAA. :(</p>
<p>My goodness this process must be the most nerve wracking thing ever! Congrats to all those who have good news and best wishes to those still waiting. And for those who have received less than great news, hang in there! I applaud all of you for the awesome way you are supporting your talented kids!</p>
<p>I’m dying to get on that FB thread; what’s it called? I could add my D’s horror stories…there are many!</p>
<p>If she isn’t already in it, your daughter should ask a friend to add her to The Unified FB group and post her own horror stories – no parents are posting there! In fact, some of the kids aren’t too thrilled that a few parents were added to the group and are lurking in the background…</p>
<p>OMG, am I going to be kicked out of CC? I just typed “daughter” without thinking instead of “D”! Forgive me, CC peeps.</p>
