Charles Sjolander, the Musical director will be prepared to accompany you on Piano for any of these four songs (just first verse and chorus) in the keys they are performed in, and probably third key as well.
5. Also on YouTube, go to Manitou Springs Drama Club. Mrs. Berry has set up a dance combination for the Sound of Plaid that you will want to prepare for the audition as well.
6. On February 13, you will sign in at the Theater Lab. Then you will go from there to the Choir Room, and then on to the Dance Studio and “do your stuff”. Everybody’s friendly, it is a fun time. If you need to leave early, let us know. If you are coming later, you need to let us know.
7. Once you have finished your 3 auditions, you may leave.
8. Callbacks will be on February 15 from 5:30-8:30.
