Making Audition Stories Book 2

---

The collecting and sharing of audition stories from alumni of the High School of Music and Art has been both surprising and gratifying. I’m so happy that others still reflect as I do about our time at The Castle, as if it were yesterday. These shared memories, help to show just how similar we all are.

Many of these cherished experiences can be found in Audition Stories – I Got Accepted to The High School of Music and Art and I’d like to again thank everyone who participated in this labor of love. Because of the impressive response to the first book and the number of alumni that continue to send me memories, I’ve decided to begin work on book two. This way, even more alumni, their families and all friends of M&A can easily share and relive these precious memories.

The working title (which is subject to change) is AUDITION STORIES BOOK 2 - I Was Accepted To The High School of Music and Art.
​
I’m again calling for Music and Art audition memories from the 1930’s through the 1980's. 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?"

Lastly:
