We are pleased to share that this year we will be auditioning students to fulfill some advanced/professional-level specialty acts unique to Gala 2023: 

Experienced Roller Skaters

  • Able to skate forward, backward, and sideways
  • Must have some musicality/rhythm
  • Comfortable with performing
  • Tricks are a plus

DJ/Host

We are looking for a student from any conservatory with a dynamic and big personality to play the role of our onstage DJ/Host for Gala 2023! This DJ/Host will be responsible for getting the crowd pumped up and ready to enjoy this fun, themed event. If you feel you have what it takes to be in this featured role, we want YOU to audition! Bring your best disco/funk style and flare. This will be an acting role – no DJ skills are required.

Historical Background/Details:

Top 40 radio DJs/radio hosts are known for bookending three-minute pop songs with fast-talking patter (a prepared and practiced speech that is designed to produce a desired response from its audience; examples of occupations with a patter include auctioneers, salespeople, and comedians). Radio DJs often play individual songs or music tracks while voicing announcements, introductions, comments, jokes, and commercials in between each song or short series of songs. They exert considerable influence on popular music.


*Please plan to arrive at 5 p.m. to allow time for registration, and come dressed to impress! Be sure to bring a printed copy of the completed form, a headshot or recent school photo, and your resume (if you have one) to your audition
