Attention 5th and 6th Students and Parents!
We are thrilled to announce auditions for Annie Jr., our upcoming after-school musical!
Below is all the information your child needs to prepare for their audition:
Sign-Ups and Participation:
-
Audition Sign-Up: Please fill out the 5th & 6th Grade Musical Sign-up Google Form to sign your child up for auditions.
-
Parent Volunteer Sign-Up: Interested in volunteering? I would love your help! Please click the Annie Jr. SignUpGenius link and sign up to help!
Audition Requirements:
-
Song: Students need to prepare a musical theater song of their choice, 30 seconds to 1 minute in length. The song should be school-appropriate and showcase the best qualities of their voice.
-
Performance: Students will perform their song a cappella (without any backing track).
-
Song Ideas: I have attached an Audition Song Suggestions document with possible song choices that they can select from if they need help finding a song. However, they are more than welcome to choose their own musical theater song—whatever they feel most comfortable singing.
-
Dance: Students should be prepared to do a little bit of dancing during the audition, so please ensure they wear comfortable clothing suitable for movement. No short-shorts or spaghetti straps, please.
-
Script Reading: In addition to singing and dancing, students should be ready to read from parts of the Annie Jr. script.
