VIRTUAL SEASON FINALE HOST AUDITIONS
Greetings CSArts-SGV families! We are incredibly excited to be starting preparations for our annual Season Finale, which will be fully virtual this year. Stay tuned for an official save the date, including important event details, coming soon!

While every conservatory will be featured in our Virtual Season Finale, we will also be including student hosts in the show. Students from all grade levels and all conservatories are welcome to participate in the audition process. We will ultimately select a small group of students to represent the school as student hosts. Since there are not as many chances to audition for additional projects this semester, we are encouraging students to take advantage of this unique opportunity.

To audition:
  1. Review and memorize this script.
  2. Record your audition video. Please consider filming yourself horizontally, with a clean background. Additionally, if you would like to dress the part, you are welcome to wear formal attire.
  3. Fill out this form by Friday, February 12 at 11:59 p.m. This is where you will upload or link your video.

All submissions will be reviewed and selected students will be notified by Friday, February 19. Thank you in advance for your interest. If you have any questions, please email Bridget McNally at [email protected].
VIRTUAL BACK-TO-SCHOOL NIGHT
In case you missed it, we sent out an email yesterday to all high school families inviting them to participate in our Spring 2021 Virtual Academic Back-to-School Night. We would like to take this opportunity to provide you with a link to the original email, so you can revisit the videos from our academic teachers on your own schedule. Thank you for watching!
VIRTUAL CLUB RUSH
The Spring 2021 Virtual Club Rush slideshow, containing fun details and instructions to join any of the incredible CSArts-SGV clubs, is now live! This presentation can be found in the CSArts-SGV 9-12 Schoology Group Resources folder. Click here to sign in to Schoology.

We know that students want more time to virtually socialize with their peers, so we encourage students to join however many clubs look interesting to them! Club meetings are held during lunch through Zoom or Google Meet sessions hosted and supervised by a faculty adviser. Every club's meeting information is contained within their Club Rush slide. If a club’s information is not provided on their slide, please contact the faculty adviser. Happy clubbing!
