It’s finally that season once again. No, not football season: audition season.
The Student Involvement Fair has come and gone. Each freshman easily gets enough quarter sheet handouts from clubs to line the walls of a Gonzaga forced triple, but the next step is to act upon those slips.
For vocalists and dancers, auditions are required for most groups, and if an unsuspecting freshman forgets the time or location of their desired group, a year of waiting is going to put their freshman year goals to shame.
Avoid missing an audition or showing up on the wrong floor of the wrong building with the help of this handy dandy guide. (Please note: This is in no way representative of all of the singing/dancing groups here on campus, however it covers the vast majority.)
