FINE ARTS AUDITION PROCESS

ACADEMY JUNIORS

Academy Juniors auditions are held in spring for the following school year and are open to all students in grades 6-8. Students who make the group will also be enrolled in chorus for the 2024-2025 school year. If your student signed up for another elective but would like to audition, we can change his or her elective choice to chorus, should he or she make the group. The audition process will have three components: solo, range testing, and part-singing.

THEATER

Brentwood Academy produces three auditioned theater events each school year: the fall play, the middle school play (or musical), and the spring musical. Each of these shows has a separate audition process and casting needs. The fall play will hold auditions once students return to campus. The middle school production will host auditions later in the semester. The spring musical will hold auditions during the second semester.
