               AUDITION INFORMATION FORM

• Once you submit the form Wind Studies will respond within 1 business day to provide the round 1 sign up link.
• After you have signed up for an audition you will be sent the audition materials. Do not share the sign up link or materials. We must receive a form from a student before they can sign up for an audition!!!!

2. Round 1 audition sign ups:

• You must submit an audition information form first. A link to sign up will be sent after the form is received.
  • If you sign up for an audition slot and we do not have an audition information form from you, you will be removed from the sign ups. You can sign up only when Wind Studies sends you the link after an audition information form is submitted.
• Once you have signed up for an audition slot, the audition materials will be sent to you. Wind Studies will be sending the materials in batches throughout the day. Please do not email asking for us to send audition materials. This will add to the workload and delay audition information from being sent.
