Region Choir Audition Updates

Entry Fees & Entry Confirmation

All entries must be finalized by this Friday, September 15. All students auditioning should have paid their $15 entry fee and have purchased an original copy of the music for the auditions. We will also need each student to confirm their voice part for the contest. This will be posted in class and students will need to initial by their name to indicate that: (1) they intend to audition, and (2) that their voice part is correct.

Students that have not paid their $15 entry fee by this Friday will not be entered. They can be entered up to 7 days late, but at a penalty of $15 (total entry fee becomes $30). We would really prefer to avoid this scenario, so if your child is auditioning and you cannot have your $15 entry fee paid by Friday, please email Mr. Gilmore immediately.

Audition Day Lunches

The school will provide a box lunch for each student from McAlister's Deli on the day of the auditions. The box lunch contains one sandwhich, a bag of chips, and a cookie. The students have a choice of ham on baguette, turkey on baguette, or veggie pita. We'll need to send in their selections by Wednesday, September 20. We'll ask for this information during class early next week.

Parent Chaperones

We are required to bring at least two parent chaperones with us to the competition. These parents must be VIPS approved and will spend the entire day with us. This is a long day and we will need to leave San Angelo around 5:30am and return around 10pm. It's a LONG day, but a fun day - spent with some of the best kids. If this sounds like something you would be willing to commit to, please email us by Wednesday, September 20. If you've already expressed an interest in going, please email me again just to be sure. ;)

Students with Special Situations or Requests

If your student has a special situation on the day of the audition, that is, a school-related conflict requiring an early or late audition time or if they need to ride home with anyone other than the group on the school bus, I need notification in writing no later than Wednesday, Septebmer 20. [See a theme developing here?] The best way to do this is to email us. The region will not honor requests made after that deadline.
