You must contact the Magnet Office 24 hours prior to the audition to reschedule due to illness or family emergency. You will not be rescheduled due to lack of audition preparation If applying for more than one art area, prioritize the art areas in which you are most prepared to audition with "1st" and "2nd" choices. *Please note: Second art area choices are never guaranteed and are scheduled as audition spaces become available.
