  • Date: Saturday, November 15
  • Location: Centennial High School
  • Times: 9:00 AM – 3:45 PM (Free Experience Day) • 3:45 PM – 8:30 PM (Audition Portion)

The Experience Day portion is free and open to anyone who wants to learn, play, meet staff, and experience the program — no commitment required.

Audition Portion ($20)

Includes dinner, additional instruction, potential to play 2026 show music, and audition opportunity.

You only pay if you choose to audition. Payment can be done day-of (Cash, Check, or Card).
