2023-24 Applications
- Closed.
- Reference forms are being sent out and returned! Teachers, please check your email--the reference forms are a Google Form from 'rjones@fsd1.org'. Due to the delay in sending reference forms out, applications do NOT have to have their references yet in order to audition. References are currently still being collected and will not prevent students from auditioning!
- Auditions will take place the afternoon of FRIDAY, MARCH 17th (in time slots based on the applicants' last names). Reference forms do NOT have to be received prior to the audition this year! If you applied, then come audition!
- If applicants cannot attend on 3/17, a ONE TIME makeup audition will be scheduled for the week of 3/20-24. A finalized list of (Round 1) applicants is due to the District Office by 3/25, so no auditions will take place after Thursday, 3/24.
- Audition Materials and Audition Expectations are available on this website via the tabs on the left side. Go ahead and take a look!
- If you did not receive a confirmation email regarding your student's application, kindly email rjones@fsd1.org to check!
