​Instructions

• Teachers must be members of DCMEA to register students to audition.

• If you are not sure whether you are a current DCMEA member, please email infodcmea@gmail.com.​

• Register for DCMEA

​

Step 2: Register yourself as a teacher

• Complete the Teacher Registration Form. Each teacher only needs to complete this once, regardless of how many students are auditioning.

• If you don't remember whether or not you already registered as a teacher, you can check the List of Registered Teachers.

​

​Step 3: Review Audition Information

• Some ensembles are having auditions in person at a designated time, date, and location, and some ensembles are having auditions via uploaded video. Read the Audition Information (under Audition Materials below) for each ensemble.

​

​Step 4: Share Audition Information with eligible students
