  • 1:30pm student check-in
  • Bus Transportation provided.  (leaves GHS at 12:30pm)
  • To avoid students waiting for hours in the cafeteria, we are asking the following instruments to arrive at Vista Ridge High School at 3:30pm for a 4:00pm check-in in the cafeteria:
  • Oboe, Tenor Saxophone,  Baritone Saxophone, Trumpet, Bass Trombone, Tuba and Bass Clarinet.
  • 4:00pm student check-in
  • Bus Transportation provided.  (leaves GHS at 3:00pm)
  • Georgetown students are asked to ride the bus to the audition.  Most parents then have their child call/text them once their audition is done.  By the time the parent arrives at Vista Ridge, the results will be posted.  This gets the kids home earlier.  Your second option is the students riding the bus home to GHS, but the bus typically arrives to GHS on Saturday at 7:00pm.

Student Guidelines:

  • To support anonymity, students should not wear any shirt or jacket that identifies their school. Letter jackets must be left in the cafeteria.
  • No electronics are permitted in the audition room (this includes cell phones and gaming devices). Students will be asked (and expected) to surrender their cell phone when they enter the audition room.
