Nutcracker on Ice Auditions 2007
Audition
Schedule
Skaters must sign up
for a time slot by September 10th in order to
audition. Auditions will be held:
Friday, September
21st, 4-5:30 pm
Friday, September 28th, 4-5:30 pm
There will be a brief
warm-up at the beginning of each audition session. Please be at the rink
no later than 30 minutes before your scheduled time.
Skaters will audition individually,
in the order in which they are signed up. Each skater must perform a
prepared program (1-2.5 minutes). Skaters will also be given a piece of
music to interpret. Each skater will be able to listen to the music two
times.

Principles
are selected based on several factors, including (but not limited to)
skating strength and ability, presentation, age, level, and
experience / participation. Judges are looking for skaters who show strong
“stage presence” and theatrics, so smile and express yourself! The
judges are more concerned with presentation than with technical ability.
Preference may be given to older skaters and skaters who have
demonstrated an active role in the sport and in their club, so it is
very important to fully fill out the section for previous skating
experience. Skaters will not be given the same roles they had in
previous years, unless the judges see fit to do so. Having a
principle part in past performances does not guarantee receiving one
this year. Principle assignments will be posted at Webster Ice
Arena and online, no later than October 3rd.
Principles
are expected to work on their program during their own time, although
they must be at both dress rehearsals. Some roles may require extra
practice with the director, other principle parts, or group numbers.
