*All parents of potential new FDC members must attend one of the two meetings. All returning parents are highly encouraged to attend if at all possible. 

*At the conclusion of the meeting, you will need to sign your child's waiver in the Parent Meeting Packet you will receive at the meeting. If you are a returning parent and cannot attend the meeting, the Parent Meeting Packet will be available online here by 9PM on 9/10. This waiver is their ticket to audition, so at the latest, make sure your student brings it with them to audition on Friday 9/11. 

*Masks will need to be worn during the Parent Meeting as we are on school grounds.

*For those of you who cannot attend the auditions in-person due to a mandatory quarantine, or for some other pre-excused reason, I will post more information here later in the week regarding how and where you submit your video-taped audition.

PIT AUDITIONS

The FDC Pit Audition is the same media used for Jazz Band. Click the link below and follow Stahle's audition instructions to submit for Pit Band. Also, make sure you SIGN-UP on the FDC Pit Interest List outside of the Choir Room. If you are also auditioning for Jazz Band, you don't need to create two recordings. Auditions must be uploaded by 11:59 PM, Thursday, September 10th to be considered (and don't forget to sign up as interested outside the Choir Room!) No improvisation section is needed if you are auditioning only for Pit. If you are not auditioning for Jazz Band, send your recording directly to Mr. McGraw:

TECH INTERVIEWS

To be considered for Tech, you need to sign-up outside of the Choir Room for an interview time-slot. Interviews will take place on Tuesday, 9/8, and Thursday, 9/10. When interview slots are full, Mr. McGraw will not be adding more. Only approx. 6 applicants will be chosen for Tech this year. Those chosen will be required to be at most FDC rehearsals, so it is important that your schedule allows for that!
I look forward to interviewing you!
