Does anyone know when Baldwin Wallace will email the acceptances for the Summer 2016 Musical Theatre Overtures Program? I know the latest that they’ll post it is May 1’st, but I read that last year they sent out acceptances around April 16th. Also if anyone has any information or has done it in the past please let me know!
@artskids @IfYouOnlyKnew @MTRaleighmom - just tagging them as I know they have kids that did MTO in the past and may have some insight.
@MadiFiely1 thanks to FB time hop, I know that my son got his acceptance in 2014 on April 16th. It appears to usually come after program staff returns from showcase in NYC. They are back now, so I suspect they will come out this week. Best wishes to your child!
@IfYouOnlyKnew @kategrizz Thanks for your replies! I’m actually the student that auditioned, not the parent that posted this haha! How did your kids like the program?
Sorry @MadiFiely1, I didn’t catch that. My S loved the program. It provided a nice amount of one on one attention. It is a small program, maybe 15 kids. There was very little down time during the day and he spent all of that in a practice room preparing for his workshop classes the next day. They had activities every evening. He received great material from that week. One of which we call his ‘money’ song and he still uses it A LOT and probably will for a long time to come. Working with the BW MT program staff was a highlight for him. He made great friends who are all scattered at great programs now. For him, it was the perfect program.
Awesome! I’ve done some other musical theatre programs across the country and I loved their rigorous criteria and the hard work we put into our performance and workshops, so that’s what drew me to the Baldwin Wallace Music Theatre Overtures! That’s why I want to here the results so badly!
@MadiFiely1 - I don’t have any insight on MTO. Although my D is finishing her sophomore year at BW - she did not attend MTO before she arrived at BW. But, from all that I’ve heard from folks who have attended the program - it’s a wonderful experience!
My S also applied and he is anxious too. It looks like in the two previous years the acceptances went out during this week on Wednesdays in email form at the end of the work day. I will post if I hear anything. Hopefully, we both hear something good very soon.
We received the email on 4/21 last year! Best of luck to this year’s applicants!
Well everyone I thought I’d give an update on everything, and I’m proud to announce that I’ve been accepted into the 2016 Musical Theatre Overtures at Baldwin Wallace!
Congratulations @MadiFiely1 !!! My S will be there too. I look forward to seeing the performances on the final day.
Congrats @MadiFiely1 and @JustaBitMore !!! As I stated earlier, it was a great experience for my S. He was in the 2014 MTO Class. He regularly updates me on what his 14 classmates are doing. They all landed at great schools.
Congrats @JustaBitMore !! Can’t wait!
My daughter got her acceptance call for Overtures yesterday. So excited she got into this prestigious program! Still waiting for the follow-up email; hopefully that’s coming soon.
It would be really cool if all the students in the music theatre overtures friend each other on facebook, that way we can all get to know each other!
My daughter got into Overtures too! @MadiFiely1 you should start a Facebook page for all attending!
I’ll definitely try! I actually have had 2 people contact me through Facebook who also got in the program!
Tell her to add me on Facebook! My name’s Madi Fiely!
