<p>We found all of DD's academic teachers to be very understanding and cooperative with all she missed for auditions. They were almost universally thrilled and excited for her. She did have to make up work. Her chorus director on the other hand resented the missed rehearsals and the fact that she did not audition for district chorus and all states due to conflicts with auditions. Even though she did do the state honors choir those others were the notches for her among her peers and DD missing meant she had fewer in the highest levels. Took it out on DD all year.</p>
<p>It seems that my D's experience was not all that unusual. The academic teachers were understanding. I would expect the music teachers and orchestra leaders to be even more supportive, but it appears that is often not the case.</p>
