(Some sections may be done auditioning earlier.) Students will need to provide their own transportation for this event. For those auditioning, please plan to arrive at Temple HS by 5:15pm so that the auditions may begin on time. I would recommend getting picked up immediately after school and grabbing a NON-GREASY meal before the audition to arrive in time to Temple HS.
