Contract Audition Packet

9/26/2024

 
This 3-page document is required for every participant who wants to be in the musical. It's essentially the permission slip. We can't place a student on the cast list without these 3 papers completed and turned in. Please bring them to Dance Auditions on September 30th. Ms. Dallimore has copies of the contract audition packet by her theatre room (Rm 110).

Dates
Mandatory dance auditions will be September 30th from 3-6pm and are for everyone who wants to be in the musical (speaking roles & ensemble). Those who want to be in the ensemble will sing in groups at the Dance Auditions (Ensemble song). At the dance audition you will learn a dance combo and then after time to practice, you'll be asked to perform it in a group. Those interested in only being in the ensemble will go home earlier than 6pm. 

Auditions for speaking roles will be October 2nd and 3rd from 3-5pm. We will post a signup sheet by Ms. Dallimore's room (110) where you will sign up for a time slot. Choose 1 character to audition with (your first choice). 
 
Callbacks will be October 7th & 8th from 3-5pm. Remember, not all roles will be called back for.


Audition Materials
We have prepared audition scenes and a song for you to perform at auditions. Please be memorized as best as you can. 
 
The MP3 of the song can be found in the character folders. On the MP3, we have provided the guide vocals to help you learn the song and then immediately following is the same music without the guide vocals. At the audition we will only play the music without the guide vocals so be sure you are practicing with the MP3.
 
Choose a character that is your first choice and prepare the audition materials for that character. If you are struggling with any of the audition materials for a character, try out a different one. Find the one that fits you the best. 

Please use the link below to access the character folders:

Audition Preparation Tips: 
  • ​​Don't procrastinate your preparation. Start now. 
  • Be memorized as best as you can. It's hard to give a full performance while reading a paper.
  • Read the Audition page for tips to make your audition amazing.
  • Practice performing for your family and friends to get used to performing in front of an audience.
  • Record/video yourself and look at what you can improve. Practicing in front of a mirror is also very useful. 
  • While seeing The Drowsy Chaperone musical is great preparation for auditions, we want to warn you that the original, non-junior version can be more PG-13.

The Drowsy Chaperone jr audition dates

9/2/2024

 
As many of you have already seen in Ms. Basso's weekly update, we have decided to move up our audition dates to October instead of November. There are lots of days off from November-March and the music is  more complex than last year. We are currently working on the rehearsal calendar and will get that posted before auditions. 
All who want to be in the musical (Ensemble or Speaking Part) need to attend the Dance Auditions on Monday, September 30th. Speaking part auditions will be October 2 & 3 after school. There will be a sign-up sheet to sign up for a specific time slot. Callbacks will be broken up into two days, October 7th and 8th, with the cast list being posted on October 9th.
Audition materials and explanation of how to audition will be posted this week.
