The audition was in Kansas City, but the school is in NYC. We left once Holly got off work at 5:00pm. We drove to the Comfort Inn just North of downtown KC. It was a nice clean Comfort Inn(my hotel of choice whenever possible). There were 4 pillows per bed, which may not seem like much, but made a major difference for me over the usual two crappy pillows you get at most hotels. We stayed there to save $25 - $75 over the downtown hotel rates, and we were less than 15 minutes from our destination.

Auditions started at 8 so as usual when you are traveling with me, we arrived at 7 to the

Hotel Phillips. What a gorgeous hotel. It is located in Downtown KC.

So we waited for the school officials (Anthony and Joan) to arrive, and they did at 8:00am. Anthony took down names, talked about the process, and the kids filled out forms. Holly let another girl go first because she had to be back in Topeka by 10:00am. Holly went second for her interview with

Joan who is the school's director. The interview / audition was quick as Holly is only trying for the intense summer program. She won't know the "results" for a few weeks, but every audition is an opportunity that must be seized. Check out the website, and note the location of the school.
