Good Evening to you all,
Some big news... 3 major happenings in the life of Nick DelVillano.
Let's start off with how I'll be making money for the next 2 1/2 months...
1. I GOT A JOB teaching at
Vernon-Verona-Sherill Central School District teaching Middle School Band; Brass, Saxophone and Percussion lessons until the end of the year.
2. The graduate school audition results are in:
University of Michigan School of Music -
William Campbell (ACCEPTED)
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign School of Music -
Ronald Romm and
Michael Ewald - (ACCEPTED)
Cleveland Institute of Music -
Michael Sachs - (WAIT LIST)
Florida State University College of Music -
Christopher Moore and
Bryan Goff (ACCEPTED)
So... where am I gonna go? I'm not sure... there are many factors. I would really appreciate an assistantship. The money issue is a big one so I'll be waiting on that and I'll keep you posted.
3. I'm engaged! That's right folks... Rebecca Shirley Frye is my fiance!!!!
(pictures of the ring are on their way) If you'd like to know how I proposed... you'll have to call me and congratulate us... (607) 240-6341 or her phone at (585) 733-1705
So... I'm in Santa Barbara, CA right now visiting a friend from high school. Her name is Viva and she's working toward her Doctorate in Physics, and should have it in about 5 1/2 years or so. Dr. VIVA!!! That's so excellent. I definitely aspire to get my doctorate at some point. Anyways... I just got here... I'll most likely post some pictures of the beautiful oceanside and mountains soon! Much Love,
Nick
