SUMMARY:Michigan Chapter Fall Student Auditions 2020
DESCRIPTION:-- Announcing the FULLY ONLINE 2020 Fall Student Auditions (D
 eadline Nov. 4, 2020) --\n\nYour NATS Michigan Board is thrilled to anno
 unce that this year's Fall Student Auditions are moving forward as a fu
 lly online event.  This is a fantastic opportunity for all of us and o
 ur students to showcase the work we've done in our new teaching & learni
 ng environments.  We have worked to make the categories as diverse and
  inclusive as possible.  After the successful addition of Youth and Ad
 ult Categories last year, we have now added two more new categories for 
 CCM (Contemporary Commercial Music) singers! This year we will also invi
 te students to enter in more than one category, and have lowered the fee
  structure both for teachers, and for students entering multiple categor
 ies.\n\nOnline auditions will be conducted just like live auditions, jud
 ging assignments will be made accessible on the AuditionWare site. Judge
 s will review, critique, score and complete comment sheets for each sing
 er in their assigned category. These will be submitted through the Audit
 ionWare site. Winners will be announced with certificates and checks bei
 ng mailed to the teacher.\n\nIn this letter you will find a timeline, 
 updated fee structure, information on registering, on recording & submit
 ting YouTube videos as well as pianist/accompaniment information. Plea
 se read this information closely, National has decided that we may use p
 re-recorded piano tracks-- that decision is detailed below.\n\nOn our re
 gistration site Auditionware.com, you will find a link to repertoire 
 guidelines for each category, which I've also attached to this email.\n
 \nThank you, as always, for your membership.  As you know, we are all v
 olunteers at the State level, and we appreciate your participation.\n\nI
  know we all look forward to hearing and adjudicating one another's stud
 ents this November.\n\nI will be in touch with further information abou
 t adjudication, in the meanwhile please be sure to update your adjudica
 tion preferences in AuditionWare so that we can match you as closely as
  possible with those students who would best suit your expertise.\n\nIf 
 you have any questions that aren't answered in the letter sent to the me
 mbership, please be in touch and I'm happy to help!\n\nAlta Boover, Dist
 rict Governor & Auditions Coordinator\n\naltadantzler@oakland.edu
