    HOW TO PREPARE

    Please read the following guidelines very carefully BEFORE asking questions!

    • What to prepare
      • All auditioners must prepare a 90-second vocal audition cut from the song lists provided in the Audition Materials tab.
        • Be sure the song you choose is within your vocal range.
        • You must provide your own backtrack/karaoke for your audition piece.
      • See the Audition Materials tab above for specific information on where to find your audition song.

    • How else can you prepare?
      • Familiarize yourself with the roles available.
      • If you've already submitted your audition form, and would like to update which roles you would like to be considered for, please email Mrs. Kaelin directly. She will update your preferences manually.

    • How to audition
      • Come prepared!
      • Begin with a slate.
        • The proper slate for a song is to share your name, then the title and show in which it appears. Since we have provided your audition piece for you, it might sound like this: "My name is Darren Criss, and I will be singing 'Oh What A Beautiful Mornin' from Oklahoma."
      • The dance audition will be learned and performed in groups.

    • What to wear
      • For your vocal audition, dress to impress. See above for dance attire.

    • How to schedule your audition
      • Review the preliminary REHEARSAL SCHEDULE on the tab above.
      • Click here to fill out the audition form.
      • The audition form will close at 3pm on Monday, December 1, 2025.
      • Every student who has completed the audition form will receive an assigned audition time slot.

    Things to consider as you prepare to audition:

    • We encourage you to continue any outside vocal coaching. In fact, we would love to partner with your vocal coaches so that we are all on the same page!
    • Excessive conflicts may affect our casting decisions. If you have questions about this, email Mrs. Kaelin directly.
