Audition Information

Students should complete the following steps before auditions:

  1. Fill out the audition form and conflict calendar (with parent signature) BEFORE auditions.
  2. Sign up on the Loft door for a vocal/acting audition during one of the following times:
    • Thursday, September 4 at 3:15 pm
    • Friday, September 5 at 3:15 pm
  3. Students can prepare a vocal audition piece of their choosing or sing a song from the show that the vocal director will select and teach to the whole group. Audition pieces should have an MP3 or CD accompaniment as there will be no accompanist present for auditions and should consist of at least 32 bars. Students can sing anything from their repertoire but are encouraged to sing something in the style of Into the Woods. A pop song is not recommended. Students are encouraged to sing the staff-selected piece if they have not prepared a song in advance (don’t throw it together last minute).
  4. Audition cuttings, including the vocal piece can be found below!
