Audition to Join Us

Students in grades K-2 audition in all fine arts: choir, dance, theater, and visual arts. Students in grades 3-6 must choose one of these artistic areas in which to audition with an option to also audition in a second area. 

All auditions will currently take place online. Applicants will be scored on a rubric for their chosen artistic disciplines. Students must meet a minimum required score for acceptance.
