"THE CASTLE BECKONS" As you ascend each demanding step, The leaves whisper their quiet acceptance. “You will always be a part of me.” Your smile broadens. You step quickens. The Castle beckons.  Thank you to everyone who has purchased Audition Stories so far. Please take the time to do a review on Amazon.com. I'd really appreciate it.

The collecting of personal audition experiences has ended and the steady climb is completed. The upcoming book is now being processed for print and should be available before the end of the month. But the road to breathlessly reaching the top is different for everyone. The alumni of the 1950s found their way up a once steep wooden staircase in order to audition at the Castle. But whether the stair was made of wood or of stone, what happened afterwards was the real a life-changing story.  AUDITION STORIES will soon be available through Amazon.com in both a paperback and Kindle edition. The link to the book will be shared in the next update.
The cover art for the upcoming book is complete. The title is "AUDITION STORIES - I Got Accepted to the High School of Music and Art." Notice that the colors of light blue and purple were used to help express the excitement of that irreplaceable moment.  The deadline for handing in your heart-felt stories is Sunday, July 19th. After a review, all stories will be included in the book. Send your stories to [email protected], as soon as possible.
Make certain to add your year of graduation and your last name if it is different than what appears in the yearbook. Last call for anyone who is interested in sharing the story of their M&A audition for the upcoming book. New entries will be accepted until Sunday, July 15th. The first draft of the book is complete and overall the work should be completed by the end of the month. Tentatively, the title is AUDITION STORIES - I Got Accepted To The High School of Music and Art. Cover art is in production and will be shared soon. Send all stories to [email protected]. Mention the year that you graduated and if you'd like a particular photo attached to your story, please forward it. If not, your graduation photo will be used. If you have any questions or comments, please let me know. 
The audition stories continue to pour in. An example of some of the work to date is on display at http://mycastletreasures.com/ma-audition-stories.html. The final product, which is tentatively being called the M&A Audition Memory Book is taking shape. My goal is that within the next month, alumni, their families and all friends of M&A can share and relive these precious memories.
1970 Yearbook Staff
I’m presently collecting alumni memories from the latter decades that M&A was in existence. This being said, audition stories from the 1970's and the 1980's are being sought. All earlier classes are still welcome to forward their stories. All will be reviewed and then memorialized in the book.
1977
I’m seeking the answers to such questions as:
What prompted you to seek out M&A? What happened during the actual audition and how did you feel? How did you feel when you found out that you were accepted? I would also be appreciative of any related additional experiences or photographs that you may wish to add. Send all stories to [email protected]. Mention the year that you graduated and if you'd like a particular photo attached to your story, please forward it. If not, your graduation photo will be used.

The collecting of audition stories from alumni of the High School of Music and Art has been both surprising and gratifying. The work to date is on display at http://mycastletreasures.com/ma-audition-stories.html. Because of the impressive response to this request, its been determined that the next step is to place this information into book form. This way, alumni, their families and all friends of M&A can easily share and relive these precious memories.
