Elon University

<p>Bumping for an interested person.</p>

<p>I'm interested. Elon was my safety school. Seems I was mistaken.</p>

<p>I got accepted to be a musical theatre major in this year's freshman class at Elon. I was seriously considering it, but I decided on the University of Central Florida instead. UCF seems like an amazing program, and I'm so excited to start classes. I chose UCF over Elon because UCF seemed to have more to offer. It is backed by Disney World, and there are a lot of opportunities through that and through going to school and being affiliated with such a big city. There is a ton of entertainment in Orlando, and I thought that it would make more sense to be around all of that. UCF is not nationally known yet, but it definitely will be very very soon. Their shows are really amazing and their sets and costumes are top quality. This program deserves wayyy more credit than it gets, but I think the big thing is that it isn't very well known yet. I heard about UCF from the producer of a well known regional theatre (I live in NY), who said it was a really great program, and their kids always stand out and are really prepared at auditions. He convinced me to go here, and he keeps assuring me that I made the right choice and that they're going to prepare me really well! He's seen people from tons of different programs so I know that he knows what he's talking about!! He also said that their acting program is the top in the south, and their musical theatre program is great and on its way up! They also have amazing faculty credentials. Plus, the FL weather doesn't hurt!! Wow, I sound like a commercial for UCF!! Seriously check it out though it's a great musical theatre program. <a href="http://theatre.ucf.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://theatre.ucf.edu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Congrats to you! Sounds like you will be happy with your choice and that is what really matters!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>For the past two days I have been trying to log on to Elon's Performing Arts web site and it is not coming up. I can get on their main site but I needed to check a few things out and I can't get into the M.T. program. Is anyone else having trouble or is it just me? D has audition on 9/2 and I really need to log on. Any advise?</p>

<p>Lexismom</p>

<p>hi- not sure what part you are trying to access. I was able to go to this main page:
<a href="http://org.elon.edu/perarts/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://org.elon.edu/perarts/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>If you want me to look something up for you I can try...</p>

<p>Thank you. I was trying to get on the Musical Theater Department but I was able to get what I needed from the site you sent. I just needed to know 32/16 for ballad.</p>

<p>Thanks again
lexismom</p>

<p>glad to help.:)</p>

<p>Lexismom,
Wife and D will also be there on 9/2, is your d dancing or the 2 vocal numbers? We decided on the 2 vocals and hoping for the best. Elon is rapidly gaining the recognition it deserves and D is psyched!</p>

<p>Nocodad,</p>

<p>I will look for your wife and daughter (private message me). D is doing 2 vocals. Had dance background, however, stronger in voice.</p>

<p>Lexismom</p>

<p>Lexismom, got the call today with rehearsal and audition times. Sounds very well organized. Will pm you (have to adjust profile) wife would love to have a coffee with you!</p>

<p>noccadad,</p>

<p>We also got the call today. Rehearsal 10:20, Audition 2:20. Sounds very organized. We're excited. Would love to meet your wife for coffee. My husband is also attending as we want to check out the school as well. We leave from Ca. 6:30 a.m. on Thursday - will be a long day of travel.</p>

<p>My d just started back to school this week so she will already be missing 2 days of school. It begins!!!!</p>

<p>Please pm so we can get meeting details.</p>

<p>Lexismom</p>

<p>Lexismom your pm is full. D's rehearsal time is 10:00 and audition is 2:00 so your right after and should see wife(Lori). We have a potential hurricane coming here (New Orleans) so it should be an exciting week. My best to your d for a great audition!</p>

<p>Noccadad...take care in the storm.</p>

<p>Noccadad,</p>

<p>I cleared my pm site. Wow, you have a lot on your plate. We look forward to meeting your family. Best wishes to your daughter. It would be nice if our daughters could meet a little before they actually audition. It's nice to meet othr CC'rs. I hope the storm passes right over your town. We don't have to worry about that (just earth quakes). I love N.Orleans, we were just talking about taking another visit.</p>

<p>My d auditions for her jr./sr. play (Into the Woods) on Wednesday. Call backs are on Friday. She has already met with the director and explained her situation so hopefully she will still be considered. Conflicts have begun!!
She loves that show so it will be an interesting week of auditioning.</p>

<p>See you Friday!!</p>

<p>Take CARE

<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>Just wondered if there are any Elon students posting or lurking about. Would love to hear you thoughts on the school (dorm, food, program schedule, etc.) It's just nice hearing from experience.</p>

<p>Thanks
Lexismom</p>

<p>Interesting info. </p>

<p>The woman, Lynn (sorry forgot her last name) who ran SUNY Buffalo's MT program , you would of met her if you auditioned there, was not granted tenor and is now at Elon.</p>

<p>Lexismom and noccadad - I'd love for each of you to send me an e-mail so we can "talk" as I think we have several schools in common for auditions this fall. My PM's are full, and there is no time to clean them out. Neither of you has e-mail activated.</p>

<p>noccadad - I'm so worried about your family and the New Orleans storm. The TV keeps getting more dramatic about the possible effects as the night progresses. I almost hope you headed out in the car for Elon. Otherwise, I'm concerned you'll have trouble getting there. I truly hope your home will be okay and hope you have gotten out of there. My mother is very upset about her aunt in Gulf Port, MS who has chosen to stay home for the storm.</p>

<p>Lexismom, I think Elonactress, who has posted on this tread several times, is a current Elon student.</p>

<p>Noccadad,</p>

<p>I too, am so worried about your family. I hope your area was not affected. I am so concerned about your daughter getting to the audition. Not sure if you have the availability to communicate right now but if you do please let us know if you're OK!!!!!</p>

<p>Lexismom</p>

<p>Hello Ericsmom,</p>

<p>Not sure how to activate e-mail on this or how to send one to you. My pm is clear if you would like to PM me. Elon is on Friday, I will let you know how it goes. I tried to PM you a long message and it didn't go thru, however, if I would have read you message more clear, you did say you PM is full. Oh well</p>
