<p>I’m just adding to this thread, because its still on the same topic. My coach and I are starting to work on songs that I can use on my audition tapes and such, and I’ll be putting all m things together by this winter. I was talking to my dad, and based on what he’s seen, all the programs seem really competitive and he wants me to have some safeties. I have five places on my list, in this order (for the most part)</p>
<p>1.) Tanglewood (BUTI)
2.) NHSMI (Northwestern)
3.) Eastman
4.) Boston Conservatory
5.) Walnut Hill </p>

<li>Maybe Interlochen, but it is iffy because my parents don’t want to send me to Michigan this summer because I went there last summer, and I don’t want to sleep in cabins, and I would rather spend my time studying and singing, and I don’t want to go do traditional camp activities, however, I know they have a good program. I might apply just to see if I can get in. </li>
</ul>
<p>My dad says I should find a “safe” place in case I don’t get in to any of these places. Local programs don’t really work for me, because my parents wouldn’t be able to drive me, and I can’t drive. I also really enjoy going away. Does anyone know of programs that I could apply to as a safety? I kind of feel more comfortable with audition based programs, because I want to spend my summer with talented people!</p>
