    Ugh... It's 2:30 am & I'm sitting beside DS's hospital bed!!! He bought some Kale Chips and didn't realize they had cashews in them!!! He threw up multiple times & his face, lips, and throat started swelling. He was smart enough to buy benadryl and take two, but he drove home instead of to the...

    Our local CBS station is interviewing DS today at 8 am. Since he stayed up until almost 2 packing (against my wishes!), I hope he can pull off a good interview. Sadly, we'll already be in Hollywood by the time it airs. Throw some pixie dust his way in about an hour. :)

    Wow! That is fantastic! We're from a rural NC high school, so not much opportunity to travel. I'm really thankful we found the band he went to EE with. They are about an hour away but completely worth the drive! His list, not in order... Manhattan School of Music, The New School, and William...

    Thanks Robin. :hug: It really stinks to not even have a chance... But, it's made him work even harder for the rest. His 4-6 hours of practice are about 10 now! I've forgotten what life is like without jazz playing. LOL

    He plays tenor saxophone, jazz. His ensemble placed 2nd overall (by 2 points!!! Ugh!!!) at Jazz at Lincoln Center's Essentially Ellington competition last May, and he won an Outstanding Saxophone award presented by Wynton Marsalis. On Saturday we head to Hollywood! He made this year's Grammy...

    So sorry! It really stinks because we can't do anything to make it better. We just had a big blow too... a no from Juilliard. Completely unexpected. DS is crushed. But, he's on 2nd round auditions at 7 others. And his tied for #1 is still there!!! (It was tied with Juilliard - oh well, easy tie...

    THIS. I'm living this. And it stinks!!! 8 out of 9 we won't know about until who knows when... At least the one in-state school has accepted him, but we haven't heard about scholarships even from them... While we're in LA for the Grammy Band we have a parent night to meet college reps. I really...

    This is the part that's driving me crazy too... I just wish we knew already. We have to wait for 2nd round auditions to find out if he's even in, then there is the crazy high cost... sigh... Thankfully making the Grammy Band gives him (and the other 29 members) access to 2 million in...
