[Perform-Talk] Auditions Open: Join the Performing Arts Division Telegram Team!

Wed Oct 8 01:29:35 UTC 2025

How do we audition? I mean, I know we send a recording, but I don't quite know what you want--accompanied, special songs, or what. I think it would be fun.

Hi Jana,
No, past performers on the singing telegram crew do not need to resubmit auditions. You guys are good to go! Thanks for your contributions over the years!

We will always verify that you are available before asking you to take on responsibilities during a telegram season, so if you're available this time but don't feel comfortable committing to future runs, that's okay! We still encourage you to submit your materials for consideration.
