Carissa Aglietti, Jack DeBusk, Hannah Hamel, Kyle Hassien, Madeleine Louviere, Grace Magar, Gavin Mullally, Cliona Smith Jack Emery and Mathew Austin Woolsey were among 9 CISD fine arts students honored for signing their college scholarships at a special ceremony on April 28, 2017 at CSHS.
On Friday morning atbrCarroll Senior High School, family and friends gathered to celebrate 10 Dragons who have been accepted into prestigious programs around the country.
The process for pursuingbra degree in fine arts is rigorous. Students looking to move on to collegiatebrstudies in these disciplines go through a two-step process. They must be acceptedbrinto both their university and go through a portfolio, interview orbraudition process to be accepted to their chosen fine arts program. Manybrstudents audition and interview for months as collegiate fine arts programs arebroften looking for the right students to fill specific roles or to be mentoredbrby faculty with specific skills.
For prospective artbrstudents, this process can include a persuasive cover, resume and portfoliobrdisplaying a variety of media and techniques used in their art.
For prospective musicbrstudents, this can include a repertoire list discussing the music studies andbrroles performed, recommendations, recordings of original work or performancesbrand finally live auditions playing memorized music and sight-reading.
For prospective theaterbrstudents, this process can be very similar to that of music students but maybractually include applying to multiple departments. Theater students may be requiredbrto provide resumes, videos and audition in person, performing songs to show offbrtheir vocal range and performing both classical and contemporarybrmonologues. And don't forget the all-important headshot!
Congratulations to thebr10 students who have succeeded in successfully navigating this process andbrwill be taking this next step towards their future.
