I'm hearing that if the SCIAC plays there will be no spectators.
As for skipping the spring, I don't know how it is at other schools, and obviously every family's situation is different, but last I heard there can be a severe financial cost if you do that at my son's school. Apparently the expected family contribution remains the same regardless of how many semesters you attend during an academic year. So if the total cost of attendance is $60K and your EFC is $30K, then you get a $30 award for the year, and you pay $30K. But if you do two semesters in two years, your EFC is $30K, and so is your TCA, so your FA award is $0 for each of the two years. And of course the kid is giving up one year's worth of earnings, though that could be moot in this economy.

Santa will have to leave me a really nice set of binoculars in my stocking then!

Good point about finances...not sure how many have looked that far yet.
