 Please email Director of Music, Mrs Maria Colvin for an audition time mcolvin@wdsg.school.nz Auditions are not scary! Mrs Colvin will listen to you sing a verse and chorus of a favourite song without accompaniment or sing the National Anthem or Happy Birthday. Then she will check your vocal range, give you a few simple ear tests - sing notes from chords, repeat pitches back played on the keyboard, sing a round together and then do a really basic sight reading test!

The Sound of Music 2019 - Cast
 Thank you to everyone who took the time to audition for the 2019 production of The Sound of Music. Over three days we saw 83 auditions and 17 call backs. The standard of auditions was just as good as usual and the audition panel really appreciated all the effort and work that you all put in. While we would love to have everyone who auditioned in our production, logistics prevent us. We simply cannot fit that many people on stage. If you have not been successful in gaining a role on stage for The Sound of Music but still want to be involved, you will be able to sign up for Hair & Makeup, Costumes, Sound & Lighting, and Backstage Crew during Term 1 next year. If you are not able to accept your role in the cast please email Miss Armitage larmitage@wdsg.school.nz by the 31st of December 2018. There are other students who would love to be involved who may be able to take your place so it is important that you do not leave this until next year. If you have any questions please contact Miss Armitage. CAST
The von Trapp Children (in no particular order until the first rehearsal next year)
Ensemble - including Neighbours of Captain von Trapp, nuns, citizens of Salzburg, and contestants at the Festival Concert
