What are the dates for "Bye Bye Birdie" and "Joseph"? Who knows! It's still Summer and it's a miracle that we even chose the shows this early! What are the auditon dates for Musical Theatre? Please! Sometime in 2009 is all I can tell you. Are Musical Theatre and Costume Design classes only for 7th & 8th graders? Yes. See requirements for auditions by scrolling down to question #11. Is there anyway to join these classes second semester? Unfortunetely no. They are audition only classes.I have a few spots open for Costume Design this fall (2008/2009 school year). Contact me if you are interested. When will audition appointments for Costume Design be held? This week! Click on the "Costume Design" icon for more information. Do any of your classes switch at the semester's end? No. All of my classes are enrolled for the full school year! What is the difference between Magnet, Academy and Musical Theatre? Musical Theatre auditions are open to ALL STUDENTS on the Millikan campus. This includes the Magnet & Academy as well as students who do not belong to any of these programs. Students must audition specifically for this class. Audition dates for the 2008/2009 school year will be announced and posted on the calendar when they are scheduled. Incoming 6th grade students are not eligible to try out. Auditions for this program are only open to students going into 7th or 8th grade. The Magnet students are selected by the District Office. To apply for the Magnet please contact the Magnet Office or the District for more details. You must fill out the CHOICES application to get into this program. Admission into the Performing Arts Magnet means that you will be offered dance instead of P.E., busing transporation if you are out of the area, and enrollment in an arts elective. You do not need to audition for this program, but you must fill out the application and be selected by the district. Performing Arts Academy students must audition to get into the Academy program. Even though this is NOT the Magnet program, oddly enough auditions are scheduled through the Magnet Office. This is NOT the same audition required to get into Musical Theatre. Both Performing Arts Magnet and Performing Arts Academy students are generally enrolled in an arts class and take dance instead of P.E. Other academies such as Civics and Science have different requirements. The Magnet Office has brochures explaining the differences. Academy rules and guidelines are changing this year so it is best to contact the Magnet Office for the latest information on all academies. Musical Theatre students take 2 arts classes (vocal and drama) and 1 dance class daily. This advanced group of students perform 2 musicals per school year, participate in the dance concert through Ms. Weiss, perform in the choir concert with Mr. Krubsack and are offered many other performance opportunities throughout the school year. What do I need to do in order to audition for Costume Design? Make an appointment with me to show your portfolio. This should include drawings/renderings of your designs. You can also bring samples of things you have made. Class size is limited. No. We will teach you if you are accepted into the class. What do you make in Costume Design? We attend 2 competitions a year in teams. Students design, research and make the costumes themselves. Costume Design also makes, organizes, and works backstage on costumes for the Musicals. When there is time, we work on sewing skills, make-up design and craft projects. What will I need to do in order to prepare for Musical Theatre auditions? At the audition you will be required to sing a 1 minute song & perform a 1 minute monologue. The dance teacher will give you a routine to follow. You do not need to come prepared with a dance. Please dress comfortably and ready to move. If I make it into Musical Theatre will my schedule change? You will have dance, drama and vocal training everyday. In order to fit this extra elective class in you will take one of them during the Homeroom time.
