What To Expect At Auditions
Please read this whole page, as there is a lot of information here. Thanks!
Audition Info
Auditions will be held on December 1st from 6pm-9pm in Mr. Potts' room. The sign ups are at the bottom of this page. If you have any time conflicts but still want to audition, please email me at hoyers@wyomingcityschools.org. As you sign up for auditions, please choose one of the 20-min time slots. I will see 3 students every 20 mins. Everyone will audition by themself. Your audition may be anywhere between 5 and 7 mins, depending on if you are doing the dance portion. Please refer below for more info on Audition requirements and Dance Call.
For this show, we will have a bit more structured audition format. I will have different audition requirements for every show, as not every audition you'll be a part of will be the same. This time, we will audition with material from the show. Read the Audition info, as well as Callback info. It may be wise to start learning Audition and Callback material as soon as you can.

Dance Call
For the Dance Portion of the Audition, it is OPTIONAL. Those who would like to be considered for more of a dance track, or even if you just want the chance to dance at this audition, please create your own combo to the dance break in "My Blanket and Me" (Track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8TYAwoMtm0&list=PL-qdshFlGQLXwyfXQk_EXewFD8MNwk8hb&index=4 - time stamp 2:27-3:04).
Start the combo on the "ch ch ch"s. Show me what you got, don't be afraid to stand out and make the song your own! Going with that, remember this: something simple and clean is better than impressive and not-so-clean. For example, a clean single turn is better than a sloppy triple turn. If the technique is there, I will be able to see that.
I am looking for someone to be a Dance Captain, or maybe two, who will work heavily with me on choreographing the show. I am not a dancer myself, but if you feel you have a good sense of choreography and would like to be considered for Dance Captain, please let me know at Auditions. Toward the beginning of the rehearsal process, the Dance Captain(s) and I will sit down and talk through elements that I'd like in each song, and have them choreograph the songs based on the vision for them. Please note: If you are cast as Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Snoopy, Sally, or Schroeder, you will not be considered for Dance Captain.
If you have any audition questions, please let me know via email.
Callback Info
Callbacks will be held on December 2nd from 6pm-9pm in Mr. Potts' room.
CALLBACK REQUIREMENTS: Please prepare the below song(s) for the character(s) you're called back for, as well as the Audition song. I may not call everyone back, but that does not mean you are not cast in this show! I like to be inclusive of everyone, and I want to cast everyone who auditions :) We will start with the Callback material, and if need be, I may ask you to sing the Audition song as well. Memorization is not required, but encouraged! Refer to the Google Drive link under Audition Info for materials.
