Visited USDAN

  • Jul. 22nd, 2008 at 6:56 PM

As you may have seen, I already have a diary entry place where I can put sutff but this here is just for my communities lol. So I'll put what happened to me recently :-)

Today I went to visit an arts camp� with my dad, which I will be going next summer called USDAN (Yooz-Dan). http://www.usdan.com��You can major in your chosen art and minor in another. In this case, I'm going to major in drama and minor in writing. The place is HUGE. It has 200+ acres of forest as a campus and the kids there range from age 6-18.�And...the place was beyond words. I could hear kids playing the clarinet from miles away and other instruments. When we walked by the place where they check the instruments, inside an empty room was a lone Yamaha (Josh's brand) piano. I sat down and played - it was beautiful.

When I went back out, no one was staring at me - it's very normal to hear instruments�wherever you are there. I visited the drama department and I saw the stage I will be shining on next summer and I saw the drawing section. The buildings looked VERY unique. Each place is different. There are�posters for plays on the drama building and small yellow doors for the art department and little towers. The entire place had a different aura to it...even the kids there seemed different - not the everyday kids you see. All the

councilors were so nice, even the lifegaurd who is at the entrance of the Olympic sized swimming pools was really friendly. I am definitely�coming back there next year and the year after that. However, there is something delightfully odd about the entire place and why I am writing like this and want you all to know:

The night before, I checked on USDAN's website and found out one the theater teachers was a graduate from Interlochen!! I mean, the first thing you see about his biography is that he's a graduate from Interlochen. I was so happy - I just might be taught by a friend of Josh's�and/or someone who has experience from Interlochen itself! But�I wasn't ready for this big awesome shocker.�When my dad and I were about to drive off, I happen to open one of the brochures that you could pick up at the main office and it said something totally goodly insane:

When I read that....I nearly wet myself and I screamed for a second�like there was no tomorrow. So the moral of this story is that USDAN is the day camp version instead of�sleepaway camp of Interlochen and�Interlochen is the sleepaway camp of USDAN. USDAN and Interlochen and partners. I could have gone to any acting camp in the entire New York, US area - but I go here. So it is not insane for me to say that I am going to Interlochen. I am going to have Josh's education.

And get this....

Josh said in an interview that he remembers visiting Interlochen with his dad - I did the same thing today - I went with my dad to "Interlochen".� In the interview it shows Interlochen's campus a forest, trees, and wooden tables and benches. And in the brochure it shows a famous performer that graduated from USDAN come back to visit and sign autographs for the campers. Josh did that exact same thing at Interlochen in 2004.

So if I ask Josh if he knows about USDAN there's a big possibility he will say yes.

1. 2. 3. WOWZA. Thank you for reading.

The place where both are signing are SCARLILY similar - both big open air theaters.
