Students, do you like to sing, act, or dance? Then you should audition for the Spring Musical, Annie Jr.! Audition forms can be found in the chorus room, by the front door on the "Forms" cork board. There are 3 forms:

1. General Audition Form (top left) - for any student who wants to be involved in the musical (cast or crew).

2. Dancer Audition Form (top right) - in addition to the General Audition Form, this is for students with dance experience who would mostly like to dance in the show (instead of sing).

3. Primary Role Audition Materials - for any student who wants a lead role (requires singing and acting). Memorization of these materials is optional.

Not sure you want to be on stage, but still want to be involved? Join Backstage Crew! You'll help with painting the set, lights/sound, costumes, make-up, and more.

ANY student can audition (you don't have to be in chorus or any music class). Please turn in all forms to Ms. Meador by Wednesday, January 18th. We are looking forward to seeing you on Thursday, January 19th for the Audition Workshop! (This is a great time to come ask questions if you're still unsure about auditioning or joining the Backstage crew!)

Questions? Ask Ms. Meador or Ms. Stonewall.
