Clarification on “Back-to-Back” Recording for Audition Info Sheet

The term “back-to-back” in the Audition Info Sheet means that each required piece should be recorded consecutively, without pauses, to create a seamless performance. This method helps organize each evaluation better. While we prefer all requirements to be recorded in one continuous take, we will also accept separate recordings, provided a single link is submitted.

Under any circumstances, editing the audition video is not permitted.
