Auditions-The act of singing one minute of a prepared song in front of the Artistic Team to try and get a part in the show. Audition songs must be instrumental accompaniment only and 1 minute in length. Songs from musicals are preferred.
Callbacks-The day after auditions when students are asked to come back so that the ArtisticTeam can evaluate them more thoroughly. If a student is not on the Callback list, it does not necessarily mean that they were cut. Likewise, if a student is on the Callback list, it is not a guarantee of getting a part.
