Text Box: Oh yes, I remember those days well……..Music History to Chris Wilkinson, 8am written theory with a jacked up Dr. Crotty, Text Box: and act 1 is about to begin!  Yah it’s a bit scary, but hey why not have fun?  Go out and make a splash, show them what you’ve got—carpe diem!
Your music degree means something thanks to the thousands of Mountaineers who have gone before you.  We are glad to have you join us and wait to see the great things you do performing, teaching, composing or whatever road you take.  The bad memories of school will soften over time and the fond memories of days in Morgantown will grow.  When asked your alma mater, answer with pride -   WVU!

squeaking through brass juries to get a level seven (in my last semester).  Now you are done, and it feels like the finale of a long symphony, but look again.  Now you have with a jacked up Dr. to move (again) get a real job, practice your trade, act like a grown up (a little).  Reality check - its just the end of your overture
