2026-2027 TENTATIVE MDC SCHEDULE
Some of the dates listed below are firmer than others; for the most part, these dates will be locked in during the school scheduling meeting, usually in May. Mandatory performance dates such as concert weeks will be solidified and shared by the audition date. As director, I do my very best to stay organized and communicative. There should be very few surprises throughout the year, and those are usually due to unforeseen opportunities.
For now, this schedule should give you an idea as to the commitment MDC members must make when auditioning. Please note that concert performances are non-negotiable and will only be director-excused in the most extreme of circumstances. Dates marked in bold and/or with an asterisk below are considered mandatory, and of the highest priority.
