Meet the Audition team! 

Mrs. Cookston, Mrs. Armour, Mrs. Miller & Mrs. Stanley

WHAT WE LOOK FOR AT THE AUDITIONS:

• Experience - even though this is not expected it does help us know if they have been through a show before.

• Level of Preparation - there is a big difference between those who come prepared and those who do not.  

• Confidence - if they cannot sing and/or talk in front of 5 people it will be hard to perform in front of 100's.  

• Projection - again, you need a big confident voice (singing & speaking) to be in a musical. 

• Attitude - We look for those with a positive attitude and for those who are there for the right reasons.

• Willingness - I do not want to force anyone to be involved and so we will ask if they are willing to be any part, and this lets us know if they have the drive to be a part of the show.  

• Willing to take corrections - many were asked to speak or sing in a new way, read for a different character or just deliver a line differently. Some did well doing what was asked and others either did not want to (willingness) or were not able to (experience).  If your child does not get the part they want it might be because they do not follow what the audition team asks of them.

• Grade level - If there was a choice to be made between 2 people we do go with the older student. 4th & 5th grades have other years to make the part and so we want 6th grade to get the opportunity before they leave and go to Middle School.

• Talent - Last but definitely not LEAST we look at raw talent.  We listen to see if they can hit all notes, match pitches, and read with enthusiasm, diction and personality.
