I’m from out of town, can I still audition?

Yes, we accept video auditions for out-of-state or out-of-town candidates. Email us at [jbishop@stryke.org or sterrell@stryke.org] if you need an exception and wish to submit a video audition. You will still need to register for auditions but, we can always do videos if you are out of town and can’t make it.

I’m not sure that I’ll make the groups. Should I audition anyway?

Absolutely! Auditioning is a valuable learning experience that will benefit you in your current performance situation and in future auditions.

How can I prepare for the audition process?

Register to Audition - the Audition Packet is included. Learn the material thoroughly and come mentally & physically prepared. If you are not ready to audition this season, but want to learn the packet to prepare for future auditions, go to the Audition Packet link to purchase the packet only $10.

My family wants to be involved during the season. How can they help?
