This morning, CarrollbrSenior High School hosted a ceremony honoring 27 students looking to pursue abrfine arts degree in college. These Dragons have succeeded in navigatingbrthis process and will be making the next step towards their future.
For students pursuing abrdegree in fine arts, the process is rigorous. Those looking to move on tobrcollegiate studies in their chosen discipline must complete a two-step process.brFirst, they must be accepted into their university and go through a portfolio,brinterview or audition process to be accepted into their chosen fine artsbrprogram. Many students audition and interview for months as collegiate fine artsbrprograms are often looking for the right students to fill specific roles or tobrbe mentored by faculty with specific skills.
For prospective artbrstudents, this process can include a persuasive cover, resume and portfoliobrdisplaying a variety of media and techniques. Prospective music students may bebrrequired to provide a repertoire list discussing the music studies and rolesbrperformed, recommendations, recordings of original work or performances. Therebrmay also be live auditions playing memorized music and sight-reading.
For prospective theaterbrstudents, the process can be very similar to that of music students but maybractually include applying to multiple departments. Theater students may bebrrequired to provide resumes and videos, as well as audition in person,brperforming songs to show off their vocal range and performing both classicalbrand contemporary monologues.
