Sign-ups: You must sign up online by Wednesday, September 25th using the Google Form found here!
Auditions: Musical auditions will take place in the Middle School Commons on Wednesday, October 9th immediately after school in the Blue House Commons. Callback date is TBD.
Audition materials can be found on the CV Middle School Musical Website.
The Audition Sign-Up Deadline is Wednesday, September 25th!
Information: The musical website can be accessed on the middle school webpage under the “Student Life” section. Announcements & other communication will be found here!
Trying out for the musical does not guarantee a part in the cast. Casting will be based on scores from auditions. Students who have a D or F in any class run the risk of losing lead or supporting roles if acceptable grades are not maintained.
Rehearsals:
Please review the schedule of rehearsal dates and list any conflicts when you sign-up in Google.
You will not be considered for a lead if you have any conflicts that occur during the last two weeks of rehearsals OR if you have more than three conflicts.
Please know that listing conflicts does not mean they are excused!
Any conflicts that occur during tech weeks may result in understudies being cast as the role.
Students who miss a rehearsal when a dance is being taught will not be included in that scene. With the limited number of rehearsals throughout the year, we cannot make up for lost time.

Pick up from practice:
• For Saturday rehearsals, we will begin promptly at 8AM. Students can be dropped off at the auditorium entrance at the side of the MS building. Rehearsals will run from 8AM to Noon. Parents should be at the school a few minutes before noon so that pick up runs smoothly. Parents may want to consider car- pooling this year with all of the Saturday rehearsals.
• For weekday after-school rehearsals, students will need to make arrangements to be picked up at the designated time. All rehearsals are “closed rehearsals” meaning that we ask you to please wait outside the building for your child.
Reasons for dismissal from the musical:
• Please do not schedule a dentist, orthodontist, or other flexible appointments on rehearsal days. Your presence is a MUST for an excellent show. Three unexcused absences from rehearsal will result in dismissal from the production. This includes absences due to medical appointments. If rehearsal is on a school day and you are absent from school for the ENTIRE day, it will be considered an excused absence.
When students miss a rehearsal, for any reason, they will not be in the scenes or dances that were blocked while they were out.
• If a student has a 69% or lower in any academic class, they will be given two weeks to raise the grade. After two weeks, if a student is in a lead / supporting role, his or her understudy will take over their part for the remainder of the production. Musical members cannot return to rehearsals until they have improved their grade to a 70% or higher. The cast member will not take part in any of the dances or scenes blocked while the student was not attending rehearsals.
• Any misbehavior that is disruptive or goes against the code of conduct will result in removal from the production. While at practice, we ask that you do homework, study lines or bring something to do when not on stage. Your respect for the actors on stage is extremely important. If you distract the actors on stage, you will be given warnings. After two warnings, you will be on “probation”. If given a third warning, you will be dismissed from the production. This will be closely monitored throughout rehearsals. Bullying or making fun of any other students is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate dismissal from the production without a warning. This includes comments outside of practice hours, via texts or social media.
Fundraising:
Once auditions have taken place, we will ask all individuals who are taking part in the musical to sell at least 3 boxes of candy. We need parent permission and your commitment before we can allow you to participate in the musical. Your signatures will also be a promise that you will be responsible for the amount of money due for the selling candy. We cannot accept the candy that has not been sold as payment. If you would prefer, you can take part in a “buyout”. You can pay for the profit your child would raise selling chocolates. As soon as the cast list is posted, you can begin selling your candy. When you get your first box of candy or bring in your buyout to Mrs. Zelch, you are confirming that you are going to be in the musical.
