Josh as a Moutaineer?

Since September Josh has been going through the application process. A week ago his list included James Madison, West Virginia, Virginia Tech and George Madison. Earlier in the week he added Lousiana State University. LSU was added at the enouragment of his teachers who feel that Josh could be competitive for receiving scholarships at LSU. LSU has one of the strongest band programs in the country.

This afternoon the mailperson brought a letter of acceptance from the University of West Virgina in Morgantown. He still needs to audition in order to be accepted into their music education program.

Which school he will attend rests upon scholarships and financial aid packages. He would be paying out of state fees in West Virginia but they have a generous music education scholarship program which could make his personal expenses less. We will have to see how things work out.

West Virginia is where Tom and Doreen's daughter Stephanie is part of their medical college.

All the best to Josh during the hunt. It is a big decision.

Isn't it a small world? Josh could go to the same university as Stephanie!
