Audio Vocal Guides For Singing Auditions


Crockett Elementary Theatre Expectations & Behavior Contract
Directed by Mr. Ainsworth


Welcome to Crockett Elementary Theatre! We are so excited that your child is interested in being part of this year’s production. Theatre is a place where students grow in confidence, creativity, teamwork, responsibility, and leadership. Our goal is to create a positive, safe, and encouraging environment where every student can shine both on and off the stage. Participation in theatre is a privilege and a commitment. We ask all students and families to carefully review the following expectations before auditions and rehearsals begin.

School Behavior Expectations
Students participating in theatre are expected to demonstrate excellent behavior throughout the school day, during theatre rehearsals, and at all school-related activities. 
Theatre is a team activity, and every cast member is expected to encourage and support one another. Mr. Ainsworth will ask previous year teachers for recommendations upon offering MTI contracts and roles.
  • Students must maintain strong academic and behavioral standing.
  • Students should have no detentions or office referrals while participating in theatre.
  • Any disciplinary concerns may result in removal from the production at the discretion of Mr. Ainsworth.
  • Students are expected to maintain a positive, respectful, and supportive attitude during:
    • School hours
    • Rehearsals
    • Performances
    • School events
    • Any activity representing Crockett Elementary Theatre

Rehearsal Expectations
Students should plan to attend ALL rehearsals.
  • More than two missed rehearsals for ANY reason (including illness, vacations, or planned absences) may result in removal from the production at the discretion of Mr. Ainsworth.
  • As the production develops, some rehearsals will be character-specific or backstage crew-specific.
  • Detailed rehearsal schedules and required personnel will be posted on the theatre website:  Crockett Music and Theatre
Families should review the rehearsal schedule frequently, as updates may be made the day before and several days in advance.
Parents will also receive text reminders regarding rehearsals and performances.

Rehearsal Pick-Up Policy
  • Rehearsals will end at 5:00 PM each day.
  • Students must be picked up no later than 15 minutes after rehearsal ends.
  • 2 late pick-ups may affect a student’s participation in the production.

Parent Involvement & Volunteers is greatly appreciated and needed: Please help in ways you can, if possible.
  • Providing snacks for students
  • Painting props or scenery
  • Building props and set pieces
  • Assisting backstage
  • Serving as a chaperone
  • Helping during performance days
  • Helping backstage with makeup and hair
  • assisting during the show in the green room
  • setting up and breaking down each performance day
A SignUpGenius link for performance-day operations and volunteer opportunities will be shared at a later date.
All volunteers will receive guidance and direction from Mr. Ainsworth.

Performance Expectations
  • Students must have an adult present at every performance and at the cast party.
  • Students are expected to represent Crockett Elementary Theatre with professionalism and respect at all times.
  • Students are expected to perform their part as intended without adding or changing the script.
As this production is a Disney MTI show, there are strict rules regarding behavior while:
  • In costume
  • On stage
  • Backstage
  • On set
  • Representing the Disney franchise
Any student offered a role in the production will be required to sign Disney’s conduct agreement before participating in the show.

Audition Expectations
To participate in auditions, students must:
  • Submit the required Google Form sign-up
  • Clearly indicate the exact role they are preparing for
Auditions should be:
  • Fully memorized
  • Well-prepared
  • Performance ready
Auditions are a closed process involving only:
  • The auditioning student
  • Directors
  • Judges
***Second-grade students must have an adult accompany them.

Callbacks & Casting
Callbacks are part of the casting process for all potential candidates.
  • Not all cast will be asked to attend callbacks. 
  • Receiving a callback does not guarantee casting.
  • Some students may be asked to read for additional roles that may or may not be related to the character originally selected.
  • Final casting decisions will be made by Mr. Ainsworth with the assistance of judges to ensure fairness and the overall success of the production.
  • Mr. Ainsworth will talk with previous years classroom teachers for recommendations before offering parts or contracts.

Final Thoughts
Crockett Elementary Theatre is more than just a show — it is a family. It is 100% volunteered and non profit for our community. We are committed to creating an experience where students feel challenged, encouraged, supported, and celebrated. We hope every child leaves this program with new friendships, stronger confidence, unforgettable memories, and a love for theatre arts. Thank you for supporting your child and helping us create something truly special together. We are excited to see the incredible talent, hard work, and joy this year’s production will bring to our stage.

With excitement and appreciation,

Mr. Ainsworth

Crockett Musical

Crockett Theatre strives to produce professional level theatrical productions and challenging theatre educational opportunities for students of all ages, culminating in the musical. Through building community and creating a safe space for students to explore, engage, play and create, Crockett Theatre teaches excellence in the craft of theatre through acting skills, involvement in costumes, set, scenic, lighting, audio and other aspects of production. Led by Mr. Ainsworth, an experienced director with elementary music, middle school band, high school band, and theatre, students will dive into imagination, develop their vocal and physical performance skills while discovering new characters and stories.
The musical is a commitment, and requires a lot of time in the last several weeks leading up to a show. However, throughout the rehearsal process actors and techies will only be called when their scenes are being rehearsed. Actors are expected to spend time at home reviewing blocking and memorizing lines. It takes a great community to pull together a production! Let’s get started!
