HANCEVILLE, Ala. — Current and future Wallace State Community College students will have two opportunities to audition for scholarships with the Fine and Performing Arts programs for the 2019-2020 academic year.
Auditions will be on Friday, Feb. 15 and Friday, March 15 at the Burrow Center for the Fine and Performing Arts. Registration begins at 8 a.m., with auditions from 8:30 a.m. to noon.
Students auditioning will have the opportunity to perform in the program’s performing arts ensembles.
