2020 Wisconsin NATS Auditions

Due to the safety concerns regarding live student auditions this fall, the board has decided to hold the 2020 Wisconsin NATS Student Auditions online. We will be making decisions on logistics, auditions fees, and regulations in the next few weeks. It is our goal to make the auditions as inclusive as possible while providing a high quality experience for our students. If you have any concerns, questions, or want to be involved with the audition committee, please contact Nathan Krueger.
