audition by a parent or legal guardian you must bring a signed release with you.
3) You can accompany yourself (play and sing) with a musical instrument in your
audition. You are allowed to bring any type of instrument you wish as long as you
are able to sing and play at the same time. You must be able to carry your
instrument with you throughout the audition process.
4) You will NOT be at any disadvantage in the audition process if you choose to
sing WITHOUT instrumental accompaniment.
5) Registration opens at 7 a.m. and continues through to 9 a.m. If you arrive after
9 a.m., you will NOT be guaranteed an audition spot.

at the auditions. Anticipate line-ups. Everyone that shows up before 9 a.m. on the
day of auditions will be seen.

time will be turned away by security.

No guests - including parents and guardians - are allowed into the audition room
with you.

shine! If you want to be on TV, do NOT wear clothes with visible logos,
trademarks or offensive language. Also, please do not arrive dressed as a
celebrity, living or dead, or bear any resemblance to a character in a movie, TV
show, musical or play.
