GENERAL AUDITION INFORMATION

How do you determine the allotted number of students accepted in each department?

If the allotted number of students is not accepted in any department, additional students can be accepted in other magnet areas based on the number of applicants and meeting guidelines of instrumentation, voice, gender, and race. The approximate number of each instrument in band and orchestra and voice types for the choir is an important factor. For example, we could not participate, nor offer a full range of choral literature if all the accepted audition candidates were sopranos.

How do you notify students of their audition results?
