Congratulations!
My daughter took violin up in the 6th grade also, and played it for 3 years. She applied for the Harrison School of Arts for her high schooling. She didn't make it with violin, but did get in as a theater tech. This school has high academic standards, and I feel her experience with music helped her with that. She graduated with a 4.3 gpa, and is now enrolled at the University of South Florida.
Some of my fondest memories are when she would come out of her room, to play a song she just learned, and feel such an emotional burst enter my body. Tears would well up in my eyes. I miss those times.
Savor every moment 'Zilla.
