<p>DEAR READERS,
I INADVERTANTLY DELETED THIS NEW THREAD WHEN TRYING TO MOVE THE POSTS FROM TODAY FROM THIS THREAD ON THE PARENT FORUM TO THE NEW THREAD ON OUR NEW MUSIC MAJORS FORUM. I CAN'T SEEM TO GET BACK THE HANDFUL OF WONDERFUL POSTS BY OUR READERS AND I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE. THERE WERE POSTS BY: MomofWildChild, Shennie, thumper, Soozievt, and possibly others. I'm sorry. I still have the ORIGINAL POST BY fafnir605 and I am going to paste it below and I hope those who contributed this afternoon will come back and post their thoughts once again. I'd like to NOT have duplicate threads on the Parent Forum and new Music Forum and my intentions were to merge all the posts and redirect you to the thread on the Music Forum. I am going to post this in both places and then close the thread on the Parent Forum and hope you will join us on the new Music Forum and continue this topic there. Thank you for understanding. I'm obviously not a technology major!</p>
<p>HERE IS FAFNIR605'S ORIGINAL POST (TODAY AT 4:14 PM):</p>
<p>Are you as tired of dragging yourself, your kid, the instrument(s) and everything else to the endless rounds of music auditions every weekend? I have just about had it. I feel for my poor daughter, who spends her life making up missed schoolwork and exams every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday because she's back out on the road or on the plane on Thursday for the school of the week, not to mention the hours of practicing the pieces that she has been working on forever. Let's not even get into the expenses of all of these junkets.
Her friends have ED'ed or EA'd or Rolled, or are sitting home waiting for the mailman, while she's still out there trying to impress. Of course, one blown audition can destroy four years of good grades, ECs, essays, etc. I have a college senior at an Ivy--it was easier! Come sympathize together.</p>
