Being cast in a principal role in Disney’s High School Musical Jr. is a considerable time commitment that requires total support from both student and parents. We encourage families to look closely at their personal schedule and make sure there is adequate time for homework, athletics, rest, and family time before committing to the musical in a principal role. If cast, students are expected to attend every rehearsal their character is called for – Please Note: some roles require more rehearsals than others! Not every Student will be called for every rehearsal, principals can expect 2-4 afterschool rehearsals per week. Students are expected to be collected promptly at the end of rehearsals.
