Audition Information |
Audition Practice
|
7th and 8th grade students are welcome to audition for the District 7 Junior ILMEA Chorus. To audition, students will sign-up for a time to meet with Miss Karnick either during their Flex Time, or after school (students must take the late bus home if they sign-up for an after school slot).
Those who audition must be able to attend the festival. If a student would like to audition for band and choir, they may, however they cannot participate in both for the festival. Students will be asked their preference should they get into both. Audition Materials
Miss Karnick is able to take up to 20 students to the festival, but she will try to take those who were the most prepared for their auditions. |
