6) Will you make an exception if I'm ill that day?
Sorry. No.
Audition day is like the day the finals are held in hockey, for instance. Players have worked all year to participate in the finals and they take extra special care of themselves in preparation. If a player is ill or injured and they cannot play, then they sit out. They have to work hard and play well another year and hope to make it to the finals again.
Similarly, you as a candidate for Byng Arts have knowingly (and unknowingly) been developing your work habits, academic achievement, and artistic skills over the past ten or more years! It is your responsibility to take care of yourself in preparation for this day. That shows the dedication that we require in our successful candidates!
For Drama, the Adjudicators need to ensure that each student is auditioned under identical circumstances. (Applicants are marked on how they interact with other drama applicants and with the drama coaches.) Thus, all auditions must take place on the same day. Furthermore, we have a specific time frame to follow in order to meet the District deadlines.
