I really liked Phoenix, the people seemed nice, the school is massive and it has a great program for me if I want to continue my education!!! Which I most definitely do! HA! The music program here is amazing, the tuba professor is one of the most well known dudes in the tuba world, Sam Pilafian...have you heard of him? I only know him because of Bill! haha!
Louisiana State University is in Baton Rouge. If we live here I wouldn't mind visiting New Orleans which is like an hour and a half away. Mardi Gras will be interesting to experience.. right?!? This school also has a great music program and another top notch tuba prof. and a really good program for me :)
Wisconsin. Oh the fun I would have playing in the snow. Another great music program and amazing tuba prof, and something for me! Another bonus to this school is that it is near an Army reserve band...meaning Bill could play for the Army still. Did I mentioned that it snows here?!!?! I love snow. Only downfall... listening to Wisconsin people talk, no offense to any natives (my family often sounds exactly the same) but they drive me nuts sometimes!!!! HAHA!
And last but NOT least:
This is in Bowling Green, Ohio. This is the closest school to my family. Seriously, I would only have to drive about an hour and a half to see my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins! This school, just like the others, has a great music program and prof! It also will probably have snow. So, I'm thrilled!!
Bill did really well on his auditions, now we just wait and hope he is accepted somewhere great! Granted, all of these schools are great, but we just want to best one for us! I am scared and excited all at the same time!
