Tryouts were held Oct. 1st, 2011, with Pine Tree High serving as the host school.

I am very proud of every person that auditioned. You all did very well.

To all of the parents and students who gave of their time and energy today...I cannot express my thanks. There are not enough words in the English language to tell you how grateful I am for your service today. I heard nothing but the highest praise and complement for you all today. Thank you.
