B. Song Portion - Tuesday, September 10th from 2:30-4:30pm:
- Song of your Choice - showcase your best style (whatever that is) and it must be memorized and you must use a backing track or live instrument accompaniment, NO A CAPELLA (max 30 seconds). Choose a song that really shows your best vocal range and style, and be sure to give a full 'show choir' performance full of stage presence (body movement, facial expression, style and expression/dynamics). No Cd's either please :) And since you only have 30 seconds to show us your BEST singing, choose the part of the song wisely and have your backing track cued up on your phone.
- Show/Describe to us one skill/talent you have - can you do something that is very unique? It could be a particular type of dance or movement, a skill like doing hair or makeup, playing an instrument, sewing, painting, or a skill like organizing fundraisers. Either show us or tell us (max 30 seconds)
C. Application Form - Fill out this Application Form, BEFORE THE AUDITION, as you have part of it filled out by your parents.

NOTE - Call Backs - It is possible that after these auditions you will get a call back.
