Image Contract

Evaluation- you will need 3 Teacher Evaluation Forms

Reference

Please read and complete the following checklist prior to your audition. These steps will ensure that you are represented well as a candidate for Image.

• Complete the Image Application in its entirety.
• Read the Membership Contract carefully. Be sure that both you and your parent(s) sign and date the form.
• Give the Teacher Evaluation Forms to three (3) teachers of your choice. If you are a new student to Mansfield Christian School, you may want to use your Senior Minister as one of your evaluators. All forms will be treated as confidential and will be given directly to me.
  [Should any of your evaluators not be employed by Mansfield Christian School, you should give them a SASE so that they can return the form to me directly]
• Give the Reference Form to your senior, youth, or worship minister.  This reference should be completed by the minister that knows your personality and specifics regarding your spiritual maturity and growth.  This form will be treated as confidential.
  [You should provide them with a SASE so that they can return the form to me directly] 
• Sign up for an audition time on the bulletin board outside the choir room. Auditions will be held after school on Wednesday, May 18th and Thursday, May 19th. Select time slots are available during school for students with a Study Hall.
  [Applicants who wish to audition for both vocal and instrumental positions will need to sign up for two time slots back-to-back]
• Be five minutes early for your audition. Wear something professional and comfortable. Prayer and preparation are the best cure for nerves.

Auditions will take approximately 10 minutes. This is a very brief time to make a decision for an entire year. First impressions are important. Conduct yourself in a proper and professional manner at all times.
