Auditions (meet in Odell Building)

• 10:00am – 1:00pm Auditions for Morning Group

Students will assemble in the warm-up room in the Odell Building at their assigned time, in groups of ~20 students. Students have 25 minutes to warm up, then are led to the audition room. After the entire group has auditioned, students are led back to the warm up room to collect their personal belongings. The audition process, from warm up through returning to the room after the audition, takes 75 minutes. The rest of the morning is for visiting the College Fair. 

College Fair (Odell Lobby, Huggins Auditorium, Cowan Building)

• 9:30am – 12:30pm & 2:00 – 5:30pm (lunch break from 12:30 – 2:00)

Callbacks will be posted in Cowan Hall after each audition group. A callback indicates that a school definitely wants to meet a student after seeing their audition. Callback or not, we recommend visiting with every school. Parents – you can also talk with all of the college representatives! Parents may join their students for orientation and College Fair visits, but are not permitted in the warm-up or audition room.
