2016-2017 Audition Sign-Ups

August 28, 2016

Dear Returning and Interested Members:

Welcome back! I am very excited to begin rehearsals in a couple of weeks!

We will be holding Informal Auditions (cannot stress that enough) on Thursday, September 8th and Friday, September 9th from 6:00-10:30pm in MM127. These auditions are for part assignments only, and EVERYONE is still welcome to join!

If either of these dates do not work or all of the audition time slots have been filled, please email me for an alternate time. Please Sign-up for only ONE time and do not sign-up for a time someone else has taken.

Make sure to arrive warmed up and no later than 5 minutes before your audition time so we stay on track.

Looking forward to making music with you all once again.
