All students that wish to audition must turn in their musical audition packet by and no later than Friday, January 16th to Ms. Rodriguez, or bring it to your audition date (be sure to look at your child’s enrichment schedule to confirm day and time). All interested students must audition!
• Each student will have an individual audition, meaning they will perform the script reading (monologue) and sing the audition song by themselves. The song does not have to be memorized. A copy of the monologue will be given to students. It is HIGHLY encouraged that the monologue is memorized so students can act more confidently.
Monologue: (context: newscaster finding out some unexpected news)
“BREAKING NEWS! I’m just hearing this now. This is big.
(holds ear piece)
You have got to be kidding me!
It’s a sad day for planets all over the solar system. Pluto is no longer a planet. It’s just too small.”
Song Lyrics and recording:
“Well they changed my name, and im no longer known as a planet. Ohhh
Whoa, but I’m not concerned, oh, I’m not gonna worry or panic ohhh
You can call me what ever you want
I’m gonna keep on movin’ around the sun.”
