Taking the Plunge: To Boston

Back in December of last year, 2011, Megan and I traveled down to Los Angeles for my audition for the Berklee School Of Music in Boston. We had a memorable time as we stayed with my sister Caydi Zerega (who sells wedding decor on Etsy if anyone is interested) down in Long Beach. It was a little bit of a drive, the morning of the audition, as we had to go all the way up to Hollywood. We finally got to the Studio where the auditions were taking place, I signed in, and we waited. I guess that is the closest feeling I'll have to American Idol, having to sit in a big room with a bunch of other people waiting to prove themselves. We drove home that same night feeling very very good about the audition, but we would have to wait till the beginning of February, two months later, to find out whether we got in or not. January 31st came and went, the day we were supposed to know, and we still didn't hear or know anything. I called the next day to find out that we had to wait another week. So we did. I called Berklee again and the man on the other end of the phone went ahead and told me anyway by saying, "Congratulations Benjamin, welcome to Berklee." I was accepted. I know that it is only an acceptance letter, but I felt accomplished enough to have achieved entrance to a very prestigious school. Now comes the challenge of fiscally making it happen. Ha! Boston here we come! Appreciation is devoted to all friends and family who have helped us in this great endeavor! Only you guys make it possible. Thank you so much! Stay tuned for an update on my upcoming album, which will be available in a few short weeks. the title: "A Blessing of Promise".
