Audition Schedule


Teachers sending students to districts other than their own MUST be courteous and request this favor of the District Chair well before that district’s deadline. District Chairs may require such requests in writing, and have the option of refusing to take such students if doing so will overload their facilities and judges. Students within a district always have scheduling priority over “extra” students from other districts.
