Please note:  Audition start and end times are approximations only. 
We’ll do our best to keep on schedule!!
Students:
  • Please wear appropriate class level attire/color for the audition.  No skirts, warm-up clothes, or legwarmers during the actual audition. 
  • Girls, please arrive with your hair up in a neat bun with no bangs.  No bun scrunchies, barrettes, ribbons or jewelry.
  • Please eat breakfast before arriving at OBT.  Only water bottles will be allowed in the warm-up waiting area (Studio 2).
  • Feel free to bring books, homework, playing cards, or other quiet activities to keep yourselves occupied while waiting. 
Parents:
  • All students must have a Production Release and Commitment Form signed and dated by both the parent/guardian and the student before the student will be allowed to audition.  These forms will be included in the SOBT 2011/2012 Annual Session registration packets and need to be returned by the date specified.  Students may not audition without a signed form in our possession.  There will be no exceptions!   No other forms are necessary for the audition. 
  • Parking is available in both studio lots on a first-come, first-served basis. 
  • This is a closed audition.  We would prefer the student be dropped off at the front door as per normal SOBT procedure.  Parents do not need to come in and register their child.
  • All students will be ready for release at 1:00 PM from the back door.  No one will be released early.  Please be patient if we are running behind…this is a long, time-consuming process.
  • Please park and walk to the back door to pick-up your child.  You will give your name and your child’s name to staff.  Your child will be released to you at that time.
  • For further information, please contact Shari Goss, Children’s Coordinator, Shari.Goss@obt.org.  Please do not direct questions to the School of Oregon Ballet Theatre, the SOBT receptionist, or the OBT receptionist.
