<p>Also alphabetical...wear and tear....nerves....yada yada...</p>
<p>Carefully copy and paste the list AND the instructions. Add your info so that is appears in red. To use red, you would post it like this BUT YOU CANNOT LEAVE ANY OF THE SPACES INSIDE THE BRACKETS SO REMOVE THEM BEFORE YOU POST:</p>
<p>[ color=red ]Your Name D or S: School [ /color ]</p>
<p>Indiana University
tmygirl's S, BFA MT</p>
<p>Just so we don’t have a gazillion threads with various lists, and I know people will be asking, can we also add the date of audition and date of acceptance? Something like:
Indiana University, </p>
<p>tmygirl’s S, BFA MT,
Auditioned 11/8, Accepted Phone Call 11/10 </p>
<p>Last year I think there were three threads for that data – one for manner of acceptance, one for date, one for the school and the program, etc. Let’s just get it out there in one place maybe? Just a suggestion.
:-S </p>
<p>GREAT idea, @transmom … I like one-stop-shopping. :)</p>
<p>You all can do whatcha want. I just got the ball rolling. 
</p>
<p>Thanks @GSOMTMom !</p>
<p>I think that’s a great idea since the question is always “how long after audition did you hear?” And how accepted (email, phone call, snailmail, etc.) is another popular question.</p>
<p>Thank you :-)</p>
<p>Great idea @tmygirl you are so right! Congrats to your S!</p>
<p>Congratulations tmygirl and S!!</p>
<p>Thanks @entertainersmom !! How does your son like Otterbein, right? You were so great to me when I first got on here…hard to believe we are smack dab in the middle of auditions!!!</p>
<p>He loves it! Your S is on a roll! Can you believe what a difference a year makes? BAL to him for his upcoming auditions!! You will feel like you earned a PhD in MT auditions by the end of the season :)</p>
<p>:-) maybe I will be able to help a struggling newbie like how you guys helped me!!! Thanks again!!!</p>
<p>^So many benefit from the goodwill of the folks on the forums (Theatre/Drama too!). We were all newbies at one time, some “newbier” than others ;)</p>
<p>Will someone clue me in to what BAL stands for? Maybe its just been a long day for me, but I can’t figure it out. :-)</p>
<p>Break a leg :-)</p>
<p>“Break a leg” is supposed to ward off the actual breaking of legs, or other mishaps, when performing on stage. Dancers play it even safer since a broken leg could end a career - and say “Merde”, French for “sh**”</p>
<p>I did not know this about Merde or dancers…meantime I tell my S to “break both legs”…I shall stop that LOL</p>
<p>There are lots of theories about the origin of ‘break a leg’… This on is my favorite! </p>
<p>In the days of Vaudeville, companies would book more performers than could possibly make it onstage, but would only pay those who performed. Since the Renaissance, stage curtain legs have been used as part of the masking in proscenium theaters, which remain the most popular style of theater to this day. Thus, to make it on stage, one had to enter the line of sight of the audience or “break a leg”, to be paid.</p>
<p>OOO, I’ve heard many theories but this one. Thanks for sharing! And we don’t say break a leg to The D because during dress rehearsal someone fell on her leg in a fainting scene requiring a trip to the ER and crutches upon leaving aforementioned ER. No mas!</p>
<p>ahhhh, thank you! obvious now :-)</p>
