TECH INTERVIEWS

Monday, 9/11 & Wednesday, 9/13

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 Monday, 9/11, and Wednesday, 9/13. 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!
