to audition. No other forms are
necessary for the audition. Forms
can be found in your SOBT registration packets.

procedure. Parents do not need to
come in and register their child.

park and walk to the back door to pick-up your child. Give your name and
your child’s name to staff; your child will be released to you at that
time.
