All State Opening Number (Contact Tabatha Babcock)
Students will have the opportunity to participate in a large group Opening Musical Number presented at the Opening Session of the Conference. Students interested in participating in this performance will need to be recommended by their school sponsor during conference registration. Each sponsor may recommend up to 2 students who they feel have strong musical theatre performance abilities.
*Students who are recommended should submit an audition video for solo vocal &/or choreography moments at https:
Audition videos should consist of 16-32 bars of the selected musical theatre song selected ("Let's Go to the Movies") w/ the provided instrumental background music. Access the sheet music and backing track HERE. They should also include a 30-45 second choreography performance of any musical theatre dance (could be from a past musical) and any special tricks or skills, including tap. Audition videos must be submitted by November 1st.
Students participating in Opening Number will receive the music and choreography in advance which should be memorized prior to our first rehearsal.
