Auditions

Audition and information forms are sent to


each school at the start of Term 3 for
students to register their interest in
auditioning for one of more of the
ensembles. Application forms are then
required at the CSO by the last day of Term
3.

Auditions are planned to be held in Weeks 3


and 4 of Term 4 with students informed of
the outcome of their performance by the end
of the school year, before the program
begins the following year. All other costs are
met by the CSO.

The Dance audition

The dance audition is entirely workshop-


based. You will be taken through some skills-
based exercises before learning some new
choreography. You may have an opportunity
to add your own choreography so it’s a good
idea to have some ideas in your head about
what you might do.

The Drama audition

The drama auditions take the form of a


drama workshop comprising of a series of
drama exercises in movement, voice,
character work and devising (creating short
scenes).

Junior Drama ( Years 5-8): You will be


required to prepare a short one minute
monologue or an opening line. You are
required to write a short one minute
monologue using of the sentences below as
inspiration:

What your toothbrush thinks about


you
Unforgettble water slide
1 000 Christmas lights
Banned from going to the Zoo
The science experiment tht went
wrong
Stage fright
Sent home from school camp

Or use one of the opening lines below:

Why would you put that in the


dishwasher
I don't remember where I left my
NAPLAN result
Hi, I'm the tooth fairy and I have a
confession
Hey aren't they Mr Stace's keys?
ALIENS at my house!
Of course we're allowed to be here
My little sister has ruined my life

Senior Drama ( Years 9-11): You will be


required to prepare two contrasting short
one minute monologues that you must
source yourself. These could be different
styles: comic, dramatic, physical theatre,
Shakespeare, contemporary, absurd and
should show two different characters.

The Instrumental audition

All instrumental auditions are 10 minutes.


You are required to prepare a short piece
that you feel shows off your ability. After
performing your piece for the panel you will
either be given some sight reading, asked to
perform some scales or asked to improvise
around some chords or with another
instrument.

The Vocal audition

For your vocal audition you will be placed in


a group of up to 20 students of similar age.
The first part of the audition will comprise
learning a new song as a group and some
simple movement to go with it. This allows
us to see how well you pick up new music,
lyrics and movement and place them
together, but it should also be fun!

In the second half of the audition everyone


will be required to sing the first verse and
chorus of one of the 10 songs below. You will
be required to sing with the backing track, a
link is provided to each song so you can
practice. The 2024 song list and backing
tracks are:
