2008/2009 Auditions!

This is the second year for the Ellis Emeralds! We are very excited about expanding the possibilities for this group. This group is set up to be the Winter Guard Competition team for ZEJH. The girls learn a routine that they perfect and perform throughout the Spring Semester. In the Fall the girls will have a few performance opportunities that may include a ZEJH football game, a THS football game and the Christmas Parade. We will add more performances as the opportunity presents itself.

Audition clinic week will begin on Tuesday, August 12, 2008 and go through Friday, August 15, 2008. (Any girl wishing to Audition must be present for each clinic day.) Tryouts will be held on Saturday, August 16, 2008, beginning at 10:00 a.m until finished. (results will be posted at the completion of tryouts.)

For more detailed information such as; fees, requirements, rules and regulations, performance information, rehearsal information and travel requirements please see Ms. Todd in the ZEJH bandroom for a hand out and details.

You may contact Ms. Todd by calling 256-315-5706 or by email. (click here)
