Pre-registration is required 

Evaluations are conducted in May, June, and January. In May and June, evaluations are held for Red and Gold Troupe Invitations, and in January, for new Gold Troupe registered students who need to be evaluated for placement in an act. Due to the nature of our process, evaluations are not held at any other time. Our evaluation process involves a panel of coaches and multiple stations to ensure a thorough assessment. Therefore, we are unable to accommodate individual evaluations or arrange make-up days.

Required: All new and lapsed enrollment students are required to undergo evaluations. Gold students enrolled in Spring 2024 are not required to attend an evaluation unless they want to be considered for the Red Troupe.

There will be no make-up days. Our process involves a panel of coaches and multiple stations to ensure a thorough evaluation. Therefore, we cannot accommodate individual evaluations or arrange make-up days. We are providing two evaluation dates for you to choose from. Candidates who are unable to attend one of the evaluation dates may still join the Gold Troupe provided they meet the prerequisite once registration opens in July. 

• Candidates who attend an evaluation will receive an email invitation to join Red or Gold Troupe, along with registration information and links to enroll online.
• Please note that we will only evaluate a candidate once for the upcoming season. Candidates evaluated in May cannot be re-evaluated in June.
• Candidates are required to register for the free evaluation prior to the evaluation date. Registration will close 48 hours before the evaluations or when all available spots are filled. Please note that the number of spots is limited.
• If a candidate has a sibling or friend who is also attending but is at a different school level (elementary/middle or high school), they must attend their evaluations at their scheduled time regardless.

Evaluation dates are May 20 & June 25

*JANUARY EVALUATIONS: If you’re registering for an evaluation in January, you must FIRST register for the Gold Troupe. Spots are limited.  Placement in the desired act(s) is determined by enrollment date and completion of registration forms, provided students meet prerequisites and space is available. Please note that evaluations in January are solely to assess act placements in the Gold Troupe and not for troupe placement.

Visit the Gold Troupe page to register and pay. You will receive an automated purchase receipt containing a Gold Troupe registration form LINK where you can sign up for an evaluation in the registration form.
