I personally like Cum Laude better... sounds more prestigious. But thats a personal preference.
On your SD Opera listing though, you say "Tour Productions include;"... that isn't proper use of the semicolon. Semicolons are used to seperate two independent thoughts in the same sentence, whereas colons are used to show that a list is to follow that sentence. You'd be better off using a colon.
Edit: I just read the rest of it, this appears to be a recurring theme.
I was never great with the difference of ; and :. Thanks for clearing it up!
