Read through the information on the Olympic Conference website. Make sure you know what music is required to audition (see attached solos PDF, some solos are multiple pages).
- Find your instrument. Be sure to check if your solo has multiple pages (especially percussion)
Please make sure you also read through and mark down all of the rehearsals and performance dates before committing to audition. All of the rehearsals and performances are mandatory and students must attend every rehearsal for the full time to remain a member of the ensemble.
*Talk to Mr. Kuntz, Mr. Kinsey, Gia...etc. about any other prior commitments you have before agreeing to audition. Don't assume they know!

Day of Auditions (Tues, 1/7) Schedule:

Mr. Kuntz will not be around to monitor students during the auditions. Everyone will need to be responsible and on their best behavior. You are representing Williamstown High School and the Williamstown High School Band Program, so please make good decisions. Once students are done auditioning, they should remain in the auditorium until everyone has completed their audition.

- 8:30pm, Estimated return home
- If you drive yourself, you don't need to wait for the other students to leave once you're done with your audition, however, please make sure your parents pick you up on time.
