More College NewsHeyi y'all. I just spent a good part of today at the Accepted Students Day at Mannes. Holy cow, it made me happy that my choice was made easy by a rejection from Juilliard.
First we toured the dorms. They're apartment style, and really nice. Then we took the subway back up to Mannes and walked around the school for a while. It's a nice little house-like building, very intimate and inviting. the two recital halls are also rather cute. I also sat in on a Fundamentals of Music, a.k.a. Theory 101. BORING, but at least something will be easy.
During the trip back up to Mannes the Admissions officer, who happened to be an oboist (explains a lot), told us that for next year the Mannes Orchestra has three special concerts planned. One each at: Avery Fischer Hall, Alice Tully Hall (if it gets finished) and Carnegie Hall. How sick would that be!!!
Anyway, today was basically just about confirming what I thought about the school, and I liked it a lot. There are 4 bassoonists right now, plus they only accepted 2 for next year so that leaves 6 of us for next year, unless someone graduates. Lots and lots of fun. College should be rather fun, even if I'm leaving behind all these people. But there's always breaks and weekends.
