We attended junior year to audition for a summer program and it was helpful to get a sense of the set up, realize there’s no central organization and you have to hunt for the right room. But most of that you can get by arriving early and giving yourself time to settle in, find rooms the year you go. Hearing kids crying and freaking out in the bathroom, while others bust out of dance calls radiating or pissed was a wake up for my d in terms of the stress and energy you’ll encounter, which I’ve heard can throw some kids off. The audition itself was for BOCO’s summer program and she was in the actual dance call with seniors auditioning for school so that was really helpful.
