Please list any prior experience:

Rehearsals are Monday’s & Thursday’s from 5:00-8:00PM for those 17 and younger (may switch to 6pm-9pm in November), Monday’s & Thursday’s from 6:00pm-9:00pm for those 18 and older, in addition to Saturday’s for all cast members, 10:00AM -1:00PM (up to 2:00PM once October begins, if needed), unless otherwise scheduled and notified. Please see the weekly email updates for the detailed calendar. NOTE – not all cast members will need to attend every rehearsal – often you will only be called 1-2 times per week at least until mid Sept. 

Please list ALL known prior commitments or schedule conflicts such as vacations, work/school, etc. – this will not necessarily affect your casting but could result in a part reassignment if too many undisclosed conflicts arise AFTER auditions. We use this information to try to create and maintain a balanced rehearsal schedule. Use the back if needed.

Music West, Inc. Etiquette and Policy Agreement

This agreement applies to all cast members and parents:

● Encourage each other at all times and treat each other with kindness. Please keep all “negative” critical comments to yourself, and refrain from making comments that cast members or volunteers may interpret as rude or hurtful.

● Respect the authority of the Music West Staff. While we welcome suggestions for improvement or engaging discussions, please do not debate decisions in front of other cast members. The leadership team is responsible for the outcome of the show, and they have the big picture in mind at all times.

● Absolutely no gossip or unkind language will be tolerated. If you have a concern, either about the show, the staff, or a cast member or parent, bring it to the attention of a Music West director immediately. Gossip destroys the unity of any organization.

● Music West has a zero-tolerance policy for unkind words or posts about other cast members/volunteers on social media avenues. Negative or critical comments about casting or talents on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat or other similar avenues are unallowable. Taking, posting and/or sharing photos or videos of cast members/volunteers at any Music West activity may only be done with prior permission.

● If you give your child permission to spend time with a Music West staff member or volunteer outside of specified rehearsal times, Music West is not liable for any potential damages or injuries should any arise.

● Music West has a standard of excellence that is expected of our members both on and off the stage. This includes not only the choice of language we choose to use, but our behavior, attitude, and life choices as well. Music West members who do not conduct themselves under this standard of excellence may be requested to leave the group. Music West maintains a family-focused atmosphere, and discussion topics and behaviors are expected to be age-appropriate at all times.

Rules and Procedures for Each Rehearsal

● Be on time, and please do not leave early. Try to arrive no more than 15 minutes early nor stay more than 15 minutes past rehearsal unless prior arrangements have been made. Late pick-ups can be difficult for the Music West volunteers.

● Read all emails/messages, and please be flexible. Sometimes the needs of the show dictate that rehearsal times may need slight adjustment at the last minute.

● If an emergency or illness arises and you must miss rehearsal, please email production@musicwest.org to inform the Music West staff. Dress Code We ask participants to set a good example for all ages, particularly with regard to how one dresses for rehearsals.

● Wear closed-toe shoes at all times. Absolutely no flip flops, open sandals or “heelies”.

● Please do not wear clothing with questionable or offensive pictures or phrases, or political/social agenda comments or promotions.

● Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely.
