All 6th, 7th, and 8th graders are encouraged to audition - including fall athletes! We will work cooperatively with fall sports coaches to make participation possible. There are lots of roles available, so come join the fun!
Audition packets with important details are available for students to bring home. Please review them with a parent or guardian.
Students only need to attend one of the audition days and are asked to stay for the entire time if possible. There is NO 4:30 late bus, so please arrange your own transportation home or contact Mrs. Gelston about any conflicts.
