Here are some details to get you started:

 

• Student Auditions begin at the local level.   Winners may qualify to compete at the regional level, and possibly the national level. However, all the rules and processes we must follow were created by NATS National.

• All teachers who submit students must serve as adjudicators.   We suggest that you begin your understanding of the process by using the links below to understand your role as both an adjudicator and a teacher submitting students.

• NATS National Regulations: 

• NATS NATIONAL Student Auditions Resource Page where you can find the rubrics, regulations, categories, adjudicator forms, musical theater online resources, adjudicator information: NATS Auditions Regulations

• We strongly urge you to watch the Adjudicator Video prepared by Allen Henderson, Executive Director of NATS, as well as the other videos you’ll see on the resources page.

 

What is the registration fee for each student?

​

The student registration fee for each MDDC student slot is $25.00. Same as last year. A student may end up paying $50.00, for example, if they are singing in more that one category/slot.
 

How many students may each pianist accompany at District Auditions?

 

Pianists may play for 8 audition slots. This means that a pianist may find that they are only playing for 6 singers, but 2 of the singers are in 2 different categories, thus a total of 8 slots.
