Class of 2021 (Discussing application season, sharing, venting)

Ok, it’s finally my D’s turn. We are flying out to LA Unifieds this morning. Is anyone in our CC family going to LA or did everyone finish already? I’m feeling grateful she is done with all her auditions that required heavy singing because we are both exhausted from all the flying and you can hear it in her voice…she sounds like she is fighting something, (thank you air quality on planes) and just the total exhaustion from trying to keep up with her school work while traveling and auditioning. Thanks again everyone for sharing your experiences on both MT and Drama forum, I feel a bit more prepared for having shared your experiences. Fingers crossed and prayers!

BAL to your D, @followurheart!

My son just finished his 13th and final audition today! Now we wait.

@remartin67 I feel like there should be some kind of celebration dance in honor of getting through audition season, but this is the best I can find – Congratulations! =))

I really wish we could post a picture or video on here! It would be Princess Fiona from Shrek the Musical singing “And the waiting, the waiting, the waiting…”

Hard day for us. Dinged from University of Texas BFA and SMU BFA on the same day. :frowning:
I know they said 1 BFA admission for every 15 applications, but I guess I just didn’t really believe it. Feeling sad…

@followurheart Our D cancelled LA Unifieds to do her auditions on campus, but she has several friends going. Which programs are you auditioning for? My D has completed all but one audition scheduled for the end of February so I will share our audition experiences if you want. BAL!

@anitapitamom Sorry! Tough day, hopefully tomorrow will be good news!

Thanks @CMB625. No more news now until March, but quite a few more schools to hear from. Onwards and upwards!

@anitapitamom hang in there. So hard to get bad news. But just know those weren’t the right schools for her. Hard to see now but hopefully a year from now she will see it all worked out as it was supposed to.

thanks @bfahopeful. I really appreciate the encouragement. :slight_smile:

@anitapitamom I’m sorry about the news, I’m not looking forward to that part of this process either…Especially since we only have 8 schools. Excellent you were able to audition at the schools themselves. My D has only been able to audition at a few in person. She has 5 over the course of the next three days. UNCSA tomorrow morning. We are staying at the hotel where the auditions are happening so we came early, visited each room to get an idea of the space. Many of the doors were open waiting for arrivals. Today was a travel day…So we look worn…But we decided to explore the hotel anyway. Did you see La La Land? We had a La La Land moment…D walked around the corner and auditions for one of the colleges were happening…Everyone looked wonderful, dressed up, well groomed, nice hair…Then us, with the perverbial coffee on our shirts! Haha!

@followurheart Yes we loved La La Land!! Enjoy yourselves. The Westin is a nice hotel. My D only auditioned for schools in California, Arizona, and Texas so we may not be much help unless you have any of those on your list. BAL!!

@anitapitamom her safety is in California and that’s it. Thank you for the offer to share your experiences. Hoping your D receives her wonderful news very soon!

@anitapitamom Hope she gets some good news soon!

My D just got an email from the Theater Dept at U Tampa accepting her to the program via video audition and she was academically accepted with a $10K scholarship. Nice to have another safety in the back pocket! We’ll take a look when we go to Tampa for my nephew’s wedding which is in walking distance to the University!

@marg928 That’s awesome!

WooHoo–my S just got accepted BFA Acting at Marymount Manhattan!

Congratulations to your Son! @remartin67

Congratulations @remartin67!!
