School of Rock Auditions are less than a month away- DON’T PANIC. You CAN do this 😀 Remember that we are asking that you come to auditions with 3 things:
1. Your calendar (Let us know right away how many rehearsals you will not be able to attend)
2. 1 minute song (does not need to start at the beginning of the song; choose a song or part of a song that shows us your vocal range)
3. 1 minute monologue (a short story, poem, or single character speech from a play, musical, or movie; we use it to gauge your acting experience, imagination, & vocal projection)

-Also, if you have not yet registered for our program, PLEASE REGISTER BEFORE AUDITIONS at:
https://oshkoshrecdept.com

-Audition Song selections can be anything from a disney song you are familiar with, a song from a musical, or even a song you sing along to at church or home.
