AUDITION REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS
-
Each auditioning student must complete a Student Endorsement Form. Students should turn in their Endorsement Forms to you, and you must bring them to auditions.
-
Log in to Avenir. Each school has only one Avenir account for all ensembles and directors. If you registered students last year, your login credentials should be the same. If you are new to Avenir, please email Kirsten Peirce for your login credentials: wdauditions.kpeirce@gmail.com
-
In the menubar, click “Modify Contact Information” to make sure your school information is up to date. Click on the name of each Director to update their information. Be sure to update each Director’s NAfME expiration date.
-
In the menubar, click “Festivals” and choose either "Senior Festival" or "Junior Festival" to add your students. After adding students, you can click a student’s name to modify their information or delete that student. Note: Avenir may show an audition time in the top left corner of this page. Please ignore it, as audition times will be assigned after the registration period.
-
Once all students have been registered, click “Principal Form” to generate the Principal Form / Invoice. Have your Principal sign it, make a copy, and submit the invoice to your school’s office for payment. You must bring a copy of this form to the auditions.
