You're going to have a heck of a time explaining this to the
people at Interlochen. Drugs of any kind are forbidden in the
dorms without a doctor's permission slip (even then, you may have
to go to the medical office to receive them), and somehow I think
the a prescription that says "take two before performance" may
be looked at askance. You may have to *learn* how to relax; I'm
sure Richard Hawkins will be able to help you there. He's a real
nice guy.

Cheers,
