2. All students will submit a Flipgrid of themself singing a song from the musical for their audition- the more you can show us you ARE the character (characterization, movement, voice, intonation, etc.), the better the audition!

Plan to sing about 30 seconds to 1 minute of the song you're preparing...no one will sing the entire song. IT MUST BE A SONG FROM THE SHOW.

DANCE:
Students will not be expected to dance at auditions, but we would LOVE to see a prepared basketball routine for anyone with basketball skills!! The JOCKS will be a specialized group of ensemble.
Feel free to show us your skills on a Flipgrid submission in addition to your singing audition.
ACT (at callbacks-TENTATIVE): Actors will be given scripts to rehearse at callbacks to see dynamics between different characters. Scripts CAN be used in the audition.
Callbacks (on Zoom) Date TBD:
Please read everything about callbacks:
1. Please know a callback does not mean a lead or even a named part, but that we liked what we heard and saw and want to see/hear you again.
2. You will each sing again for us at the beginning of callbacks. Please plan on moving for us while you sing.
3. Some of you will be asked to sing again (and maybe again).
