**Each candidate will need to prepare a solo routine not to exceed 2 minutes. Please incorporate personal style as well as required technical skills. You may choose any music that is tasteful. You will be asked to perform this routine if you successfully complete the group audition process, so you may or may not actually perform the routine you have prepared.

Please bring 2 copies (CDS ONLY PLEASE) of your music. You will turn in your music IF and when your number is called to perform the solo routine.
