Audition Information

November, 2009

Dear Parents,

    In an effort to provide interested students in grades 3-5 with an exciting fine arts opportunity, Northern York County School District will again be presenting a spring musical.  This year’s musical is Annie, Jr.  This musical provides opportunities for approximately 30-40 cast and chorus members to gain experience in dramatics, dance, and music.  

    Students will be selected for the cast and chorus positions through an audition process.  All auditions will take place at  S. Mountain Elementary School on Saturday, December, 5, 2009.  Third grade students should report promptly at 9:00 a.m., fourth grade students at 10:45, and fifth grade students at 1:00.  At the end of each grade level audition, certain students will be asked to return from 3:00 - 4:00 for call backs.  

    Auditioning may be new to your child.  Only you and your child can decide if they are mature enough to handle auditioning and the possibility of not being selected.  Children should be aware that we will not be able to involve all students in this activity though we will involve as many as possible.  Students (and parents) who are selected must be willing to make time and effort commitments to the musical.  Practices will be held during December, January, February and March on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30 - 8:30 a.m. at Dillsburg Elementary. (Students will need to be dropped off at Dillsburg Elementary at 7:30 a.m. on the days they are scheduled for practice.  We will bus the children to their assigned elementary school following practice.) Rehearsals will be held in the High School auditorium from 4:00 - 6:00 March 8, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16 17, 18, 22, 23 and 24.  Performances are scheduled for Thursday, March 25 at 4:15 and Friday evening, March 26 at 7:00.  
    
    Students were given a copy of the audition music and scenes when they turn in their signed audition form.  Students who are auditioning should be prepared to perform the song and any of the parts from the assigned scenes.  Music teachers at all four elementaries will review the song with interested students sometime prior to auditions.

    We thank you for your support and look forward to being able to bring you an exciting performance in March.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 432-8691 x1103.
