Conservatoire applications for musicians October 2019

Hi all, wondering if there's a thread for people applying to conservatoires for music at the moment?
DS(17) has just sent his application off last night, though unfortunately we will have to ask his music teacher to send his "practical" reference on to each of the conservatoires later (hopefully soon! - apparently this should be OK as long as they get it before the end of October, but I'm hoping we can get it sorted this week)
But at least the application is in - applying to four for trumpet - and they do have the school reference and DS personal statement so between them I think those cover quite a lot
Anyone else applying at the moment (I think the deadline for applications is today, October 1st, at 6pm)
Hows it all going? And where is your DC applying to?
Have you been for any visits? - DS has visited a couple and they were both very helpful and quite encouraging
Royal Welsh and Birmingham - so I think those are his favourites and the ones he's most hopeful about.

I found the "autumn term music thread 2019" so maybe I can catch some of you over there?

I'm over there. DD for composition: Royal Scottish and Royal Academy. Were you caught out by the audition fee on top of the UCAS fee? Ouch!!!
Her UCAS went in yesterday.

Oh - we didn't do any visits here yet - DD wants to go to the US, so we visited those. Their deadline is 1 December, thank heavens.

Wow, America! Good luck to your DD
DS went to San Diego this summer on a Rotary Camp to join the San Diego Symphony Youth Orchestra
I think we first expressed an interest in going on a Rotary Camp and registered with them around this time last year, sometime before Christmas.
He had an amazing time out there!
