Southeastern’s Department of Music and Performing Arts will be holding auditions for the musical “Ragtime” in June.
Although the campus may be returning to normal, the department has made changes to the auditioning process for the musical.
The auditions will last until June 16 and must be submitted via video. Students auditioning are asked to sing around 32 measures or 60 to 90 seconds of a song, showcasing their vocal abilities.
“They need to put their best foot forward. They’re only going to sing about a minute or 90 seconds of a song; they need to examine the song and figure out what 90 seconds are going to show off my voice the best. It doesn’t matter if they like the verse if the chorus is where all the business is happening,” said Charles Effler, the director of the Opera and Music Theatre Workshop and producer of “Ragtime.”
The Student Government Association has announced its first all-Black executive officers from its recent elections.
The cabinet positions are Kelsey Staes, who is chief justice, Ke’Ron Jackson who will serve as vice president and incumbent L’Oreal Williams for president, who will be serving her second term.
Although Spring 2021 has been a challenging semester, the members overcome the challenges of campaigning during a pandemic. For them, the election remained an exciting and rewarding experience.
“My first reaction to winning the election for chief justice was being shocked. I cried when I found out about the run-off. When it was announced that I had officially won I was just in awe for a few minutes because it was real. I was excited, and it just felt rewarding!” Staes said.
