Kelly Richards Scholarship Auditions for Class of 2017

Kelly Richards Vocal/Theatre Scholarship Auditions will be held on Tuesday, March 26, 2013 from 6-8pm.  Incoming freshmen for the 2013-2014 school year who would like to audition should email Stephanie Overton-Hall at shall(at)archwood(dot)org to sign up. If you are unable to attend on the scheduled date, please let Stephanie know and she will make every effort to schedule an alternate date for your audition.

Audition Requirements:

Students should prepare at least TWO of the following three audition selections:

1. Vocal solo - classical art song or musical theatre.  Provide own accompaniment - live piano accompanist or CD.  CDs may not contain vocal parts.  Must be memorized. Pop songs are considered inappropriate for this audition and will result in disqualification.
2. Monologue - 1-2 minute monologue, any style. Must be memorized.
3. Dance - one song, any style solo dance performance.  Must provide music on CD.

Students may choose to do all three audition pieces, but two is the minimum requirement.  Any student who does not perform two different audition pieces will be disqualified.  Students may not perform two of the same audition piece (two vocal solos, two dances, etc.).

The winner of the vocal/theatre scholarship will be required to perform with the school choir and in both the fall and spring theatre shows for all four years that they attend Archbishop Wood High School in order to retain their scholarship.  Winning the scholarship does not guarantee preferred casting for choir solos or principle roles in the theatrical productions.

Questions should be directed to Stephanie Overton-Hall at the email address listed above.  Thank you for your interest and we look forward to working with you at ABW!

Current students - please spread the word about auditions to any talented 8th graders you know at your parishes!  Thanks!
