2025-26 OAYO Auditions

are now live!

To audition for OAYO this season, you'll follow along with our audition packets and create 4-5 short videos and submit them to our audition submission form.

Auditions will consist of scales, excerpts, and solos. The audition packets will lead you through each step of the audition and give you detailed instructions of how to record each video and which step to upload them to in the submission form.

Read the audition information and FAQ here.

Ready to take a look at the audition packets?

View, download, and print them out here!

Auditions must be uploaded by June 1st, 2025 at 11:59 PM. Late auditions will not be considered.

Start your registrations and upload audition videos to our Submittable HERE!

You'll be able to save your progress in the audition forms, so get started with registering as soon as you're able!

Deadline extended! Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis.

This experience is open to anyone (regardless if they're in OAYO or not!) who has completed grades 9-12 in the 2024-2025 school year (meaning, if you graduate this May, you are able to join!). See more details below on the flier.

YS, you won't need to audition to participate in the CMI this season, but you will need to complete registration below.

If you know someone who would be interested in participating, but is not in OAYO, share the flier with them! We will ask for a short audition from non-YS students.

This event will take place over 5 days from June 11-15.

Ready to apply? Please visit this site to register.
