This Fall, the 4th grade will be presenting the Toe-Tapping, Foot-Stomping, Knee-Slapping, Hip-Swinging, Hand-Clapping, Finger-Snapping, Spine-Tingling musical program, "BONES"!

All 4th grade students will participate in this program and rehearse during music class, but students also have the opportunity to audition for a principal role, if they so desire.

The principal roles include some small and large speaking roles, and a couple of vocal soloist roles.

See below for information about principal auditions and principal character rehearsals!

There is no cost to participate.

AUDITIONS

Auditions are OPTIONAL and are only intended for 4th grade students who wish to try out for a speaking or soloist role in the program. Auditioning students MUST be available every Wednesday morning, leading up to the performance (Oct. 3rd), from 7:25-7:55 a.m. to rehearse their principal role.

4th grade students who do not audition, or audition but do not receive a principal role, are still required to participate in the program and will rehearse during their music class.
