  5. When do I audition? Sign-up sheets will be posted on the library windows for both dance and monologue/vocal auditions. Dance auditions will take place on Monday, October 28th, 2019 in the Band Room starting at 1:00pm. (This is an Inservice Day.) You will need to sign-up for a 45 minute time slot for this audition. Students will learn a dance combination with a group. This audition will be videotaped. You will be scored individually. The monologue/vocal auditions are on Monday, November 4th at 3:00, also in the Band Room. Students will sign-up for a timeslot to perform song selections (two 16-bar excerpts of your choice) from the list provided. This audition will be videotaped.

  6. AUDITION REQUIREMENTS • Dance auditions will be conducted on Monday, Oct. 28th. Be sure to wear clothes and footwear that you can dance in comfortably. You will be taught a short dance combination which you will perform in small groups for the adjudicators. • Memorize and sing 2 16-bar selections from the songbooks for your audition on Monday, November 4th. These have been pre-chosen by the directing team and everyone will sing from either the Soprano/Alto books or the Tenor/Baritone books. You may sing two from one or one from each voice part. • Prepare a completely memorized monologue for auditions on Monday, November 4th no longer than 1 minute (It will be timed, and you will be stopped if you go over) from a play, musical or movie. Please choose age-appropriate material. The monologue will be performed right after you sing. NO MONOLOGUES FROM THE ADDAMS FAMILY MAY BE PERFORMED AT THE FIRST ROUND OF AUDITIONS. • Be aware that you may be called back to perform scenes with other students and you may be asked to sing again. All those who are being called back will pick up materials ahead of time to learn for callbacks. • Call Backs are for supporting and principal roles only. Ensemble roles will be cast from the first auditions. Please note that preparation is key at call backs! Memorizing the callback material is a VERY GOOD idea if you wish to shine. The date of callbacks will be posted.

  7. HOW TO ACHIEVE THE MOST FAIR, MOST OBJECTIVE & NON-BIASED AUDITIONS • Adjudication Panel made up of 11 people - including members of the musical directing team & members of the PRSD staff who are not a part of the directing team. Our goal is to have an impartial adjudication panel. Some members of the panel will participate in the audition process but have no involvement in the musical itself. • Videotaping auditionswill assure transparency. It is also a helpful tool for the directing team to be able to review the individual auditions, if needed. • 5-Point system will be used to score auditions. This point system supports an objective audition process and objective evaluation of students’ skill sets.

  8. ADJUDICATORS/PARTICIPANTS The Musical Team • Stage/Artistic Director • Choreographer • Music Director • Producer • Costume Director Additional Adjudicators • 6 Impartial Members of the P-R Staff • 11 total adjudicators at initial auditions.

  9. SAMPLE SCORES Adjudicator One Jane Smith VocalMonologueDance 3 4 3 Comments: Very strong middle voice, mix-belt quality. Expressive monologue, believable. Moved well, and smiled a lot.

  10. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE INITIAL AUDITIONS? As soon as the auditions are completed, the directing team/adjudicators will talk about their impressions and scoring from the dance/monologue/vocal auditions. The directing team then agrees upon a date to come together again to decide who will be called back, based on an average of scores and comments from every adjudicator. Once that meeting takes place, and decisions are made, callbacks are posted.

  11. POSTING THE FINAL CAST LIST • Once all roles have been cast, a list will be posted with the names of all participants in the lead roles, supporting roles and ensemble positions. • Students will put their initials next to their names to show they have seen the list and agree to the role they have been assigned. • A brief explanation as to when rehearsals will begin will also be posted on the final cast list.

  13. HARD TRUTHS • Just being honest! • On the high school level, we do have to cut some people who audition and we have to cast the best people for the show we have decided to do. Just as in a team sport, we can only cast those who are most qualified to perform within the shows demands and who can fill the roles the musical needs. It is understood that this can be a difficult reality to accept. The casting team endeavors to be as fair and impartial as possible. Our decisions are final and if there is a grievance, we will handle such a grievance with evidence of videotaped auditions and detailed audition notes and scores. The directing team’s decisions are final and if there is any question, we will be fully prepared to handle the dispute. Our hope is that you trust our instincts and will recognize we only want what is best for the students, our show and for the best experience for all.
