<p>Congrats, Cosmos!!!</p>
<p>Anybody here done Songfest before?</p>
<p>Are you refering to the vocalist/piano program in Malibu? If it is, it is a great opportunity to work with prominent composers and coaches.</p>
<p>Did anyone hear from Round Top? Results were supposed to be on or before March 25th.</p>
<p>DS called from school and informed me that he was accepted to Eastern Music Festival. </p>
<p>Did not even know he had applied - we now have a week to figure out the money angle. </p>
<p>I knew I should have bought a Mega Millions ticket this week…</p>
<p>Accepted to the vocal program at BUTI Tanglewood :)</p>
<p>D (viola) will be attending Music Academy of the West.</p>
<p>S (trumpet) will be attending Chosen Vale International Trumpet Seminar and Interlochhen. </p>
<p>Should be a great summer!</p>
<p>tomdug, my daughter (violin) will also be attending MAW. And I see from your previous post that she was at Aspen last year-- so maybe they know one another already. :)</p>
<p>Congratulations! They will love it there.</p>
<p>S will be attending Dolora Zajick’s Institute for Young Dramatic Voices this summer.</p>
<p>Congrats Tenormama! Awesome program!</p>
<p>Thanks and thanks so much for your help and advice!!!</p>
<p>glassharmonica, I bet they do know each other. The world seems to get smaller and smaller as they move up. Maybe we will cross paths this summer.</p>
<p>tomdug, I am hoping that my husband and maybe one of her sisters and I can fly to Santa Barbara to visit the festival for a few days! We’re on the East Coast, so she will be going to and from on her own. I’ve heard the location is spectacularly beautiful!</p>
<p>A 2-week chamber music festival that my daughter has been accepted to is still looking for good violists, advanced high school or college-age conservatory students. They have plentiful financial assistance available. I don’t know exactly what they mean by ‘good’. If you are interested, send me a PM and I will tell you more.</p>
<p>memake, some would say that “good violists” is an oxymoron.</p>
<p>Will they settle for failed violinists?</p>
<p>Hey, as a ‘violadad’, shouldn’t you be more supportive, and leave the vile viola jokes to the cellists and violinists?</p>
<p>The best defense is a good offense.</p>
<p>Son loves his t-shirt that says “I play half as many notes as you do, and get get paid the same scale. You tell me who’s smarter.”</p>
<p>;)</p>
<p>Half the notes and twice the gets. What’s not to like?</p>
<p>As it’s too late to edit, I’ll suggest the typo was really an attempt to say get it while the getting’s good.</p>
