WCSPA Auditions
Saturday, March 11, 2017
Online Registration Begins:
Feb. 1st 2017
AUDITIONS for 2017-2018 School Year:
Students currently in grades 8-11 in Warren Consolidated Schools are eligible to audition for the upcoming school year. Students currently in grades 6-7 should instead visit the Middle School Visual and Performing Arts Program.
All students must complete an application and sign up for an audition time to secure an audition appointment.
All students will complete the in-person audition for WCSPA (on the campus of Sterling Heights High School, 12901 15 Mile Road, Sterling Heights, MI) on Saturday, March 11th.
Parents are welcome to wait in the hall during the audition process, but they will not be allowed to watch the auditions.
Please arrive at least 10 minutes before your scheduled time to provide enough time to get checked in and comfortable. Auditions will take approximately 1 hour.
After completion of the audition process, students will be notified by mail (within 3 weeks) that they have either been accepted, wait-listed, or denied admission for the 2017-2018 school year.
Accepted students should bring their acceptance letter to their school counselor for scheduling purposes. WCSPA is a two-hour block course that runs all year, spanning both semesters.
SCHOOL OF CHOICE & TRANSFER STUDENTS:
If you are currently living in Macomb County and do not attend a Warren Consolidated School or if you plan to transfer into the district from another area, you may still be able to join WCSPA as a "School of Choice" student. For more information, please click on our link here:
