Dance Company tryouts May 14th

*Updated 4/22/15 with modified clearance packet link*

Calling all Mustang students! Auditions for the 2015-2016 Yorba Linda HS Dance Company will be held on Thursday, May 14th from 4:00-7:00pm in the small gym at the high school. If you’re new to YLHS, click here for a map and address. Please note: there will also be a mandatory meeting for all 2015-2016 dance company members and parents following tryouts (date TBD).

All YLHS students who plan to audition for Dance Company must fill out a “modified” clearance packet and have a completed physical (signed by your doctor) turned in by May 13th to Mrs. Roberts in the high school office.  Returners are fine and can use the one from earlier this year. Please see this flyer for more information.  We look forward to seeing you there!
