S is starting his auditions on Friday and I just this morning started reading over the audition requirements at each of the 3 schools on his first trip to make sure he has everything he needs. I just noticed a major problem with UCLA — when he filled out the music supplement, he identified 3 songs that he planned to play at the audition. Upon further review, NONE of the songs he selected were on the audition repertoire list UCLA provided for Global Jazz Studies. This is likely the result of submitting the UCLA music supplement a couple of hours before the deadline. A major oversight! His audition is on Saturday. I have not yet broken this news to him but I do think he knows a few of the songs on the approved list — he just hasn’t been practicing them. How should we handle at this point?
