Susan in TN Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 ...that ds17 won first place in a local symphony scholarship competition. We called the friend who posted it to let him know he must have made a mistake (we've not heard anything and had assumed he had not placed). But the friend said that he had gotten an "official email" of the results and ds was listed as having won 1st place in the strings division. Now someone *please* give us an official notification so we can cheer without the bewilderment? :D UPDATE - We finally got a hold of the powers that be (by phone) and they confirmed that ds won 1st place in the strings division. We are so proud of him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I am so glad to read this post. I was afraid it was one of those family member posted on face book that they are getting married or divorced or something. I'm praying congratulations are *for real* in order! :hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 LOL - I found out my piano playing son won a scholarship last year in a similar manner! Congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Wow, how exciting! Congrats to him! My ds placed 3rd in a essay contest recently and I received an email notification...only it was to an email address that I rarely use, so about 5 days went by before I even checked it and realized he had placed. We almost missed the awards ceremony! Oops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 Ask for a forward of the email and start celebrating! Woo hoo. Friend forwarded the email - it does indeed look like ds won. We have emailed the foundation for confirmation. Wow. We are so surprised - not that ds didn't do well, but we know the stiff competition he was up against. This is certainly a great boost for ds, who has been feeling a bit down after having a rather disappointing lesson a couple weeks ago and then his teacher didn't even show up for his last lesson - no call, email, or response to our email inquiry. But I digress... Yay ds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0mmaBuck Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 At least it's good news! Yay for DS! I found out my dad had passed away via a FB message from a friend who was working at the nursing home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No kidding - I sure hope the symphony is able to work something out. And The Schermerhorn is such an incredible place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammyla Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Congratulations. I'm a little surprised they would publicly announce it without contacting him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We emailed but no response yet. Dh might try to dig up a phone number to call tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
