Review of AUDITION STORIES on Amazon.com
Interesting....Exciting...Entertaining!
This is a must read for anyone thinking about auditioning for my High School (LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and the Performing Arts) or any specialized school. I am thrilled to be included as one of the audition storytellers with incredibly talented and caring people. Attending the HS of Music & Art was a life changing and empowering time in my life....it is wonderful to read other attendees remembrances of the day that changed their lives forever.

PA in 1949
The Plan:
I'm presently requesting your audition memories for the decades that the School of Performing Arts was in existence (the 1940s through the 1980s).
I'm seeking the answers to such questions as:
I would also appreciate any related additional experiences or photographs you may wish to add, but that's optional.

I'm seeking the answers to such questions as:
- What prompted you to seek out PA? (give some personal background)
- 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 appreciate any related additional experiences or photographs you may wish to add, but that's optional.

*More History*

Yes. I am a proud graduate of M&A ('71). For years, I've collected historical events, alumni photos and videos, and reunion-related materials. I created a website (My Castle Treasures) as a convenient place to locate precious memories from the almost fifty years of M&A's existence and beyond. I found that even though I'm an art student, those who applied at M&A, who play instruments or who are voice students had amazingly similar stories to share about the nervousness and excitement of the audition day.
I'm increasingly in touch with the Alumni & Friends staff at the LaGuardia school and I planned to put out a call to all alumni from LaGuardia. I decided to first put the request out to Performing Arts alumni because it was once Music & Art's sister school.
In terms of why an M&A grad is requesting stories from PA graduates, that's simple. Whether you are a student of drama, dance, voice, art, or those talented at playing instruments, all hopes and dreams come from the heart. Overall, it's a lot more about the fascinating individual story of the student than the particular school. In my quest to keep our sweet memories alive, it makes perfect sense to include the stories of Performing Arts and, soon, those of LaGuardia.
