Hello Prospective Students,
Thank you for your interest in our performing arts program. We are committed continuing to grow your talents and education in a variety of performance-based classes. Prospective students must complete a live audition at the school in order to be placed into an advanced ensemble. Students interested in learning a new instrument can enroll in “beginning” level courses without an audition.
Our students perform frequently throughout the year and after school rehearsals are required for advanced ensembles. Our students have the opportunity to participate in All State, All County, District Solo and Ensemble, and State Solo and Ensemble.
To set-up your audition, please contact the front office at Odyssey Charter Jr/Sr High School at 321-345-4117.
We look forward to meeting you!
Musically,
Marli Kevelin
Fine Arts Department Chair
Director of Bands
