Code Black 2009 Audition Information

September 6th and 7th - Auditions for 2009
 

Registration

The non-refundable registration fee for the 2009 Audition Season will be $25 for all participants.  This fee must be paid at registration of every open gym, masterclass, and the actual audition.

What Do I Need To Bring?

During the breaks in-between blocks, there will be ample time for lunch and dinner which is provided on your own.  There are multiple restaurants located around our designated facility or you can choose to bring your own sacked lunch.

You will need to provide your own flag as well as a rifle and/or sabre (if you choose to audition for a weapon spot).

Most importantly, just bring an overall good attitude and open-mind as it will take you farther than anything you can imagine!

What Should I Wear?

People auditioning for Code Black 2008 should wear blacks that show the lines of their body.  Comfortable, form-fitting clothes are recommended so that your movement is not hindered and you are able to freely express yourself through dance as well as equipment.
 

What Will We Do?

This entire day process will give you a true Code Black experience, you will be exposed to our movement and equipment technique principles and you will meet the staff. You will learn an audition routine, you will perform in small groups, you will have fun as well as a chance to meet new people from across the country.
