Following the run through, you will not be allowed to sing until you audition in your contest room. The use of any personal electronic device by students in the holding and audition room is prohibited (i.e., cell phones, mp3’s, PDA’s, etc.) and may jeopardize your audition. You are strongly encouraged not to bring devices to the audition site.

·  Because there is no sight reading, you may return to the auditorium after your audition or leave the audition site. These are your only options.

·  Only original copies of music are allowed.
