Sounds like she did Great!!!

Way back in 1977 I made 1st Chair Alto Sax in TriState Band. Also played clarinet/saxophone for the local Jr Symphony. Got 1+ on Solo I played for solo contests in 11th grade. It was the same piece a lot of students were playing for their senior recital in college. Auditioned for and was given full scholarship from the music departments to the state school of my choice. And I didn't even have to major in music to get the scholarships. All I had to do was play in their band. Most of the other really good musicians I knew only got offered $250 to $300 scholarships and they were required to Major in music.

What McLovin said is good advice. I got a 35 on my ACT.

Tell her it's worth it, every bit of practice! Being really good was not only a better scholarship offer is was the difference between having to major in music or not. Really didn't want to end up a band director somewhere and is what most music majors ended up doing.
