While Artsfest, and spring, might still be months away, the annual arts event is already being planned. Auditions for "Musicians Among Us" will be held tomorrow from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., before a panel of judges.
"It can just be one person or they can have three or four people. They can just play whatever they'd like to play or whatever they're interested in, and we also encourage original compositions," said Regan Murphy, programming coordinator for the festival and A&S '07. Last year, musicians were separated into jazz and folk categories.
Students who have signed up for a spot in Lyons 422 will be able to audition for a chance to perform at the festival. Interested musicians can also submit an audition tape by noon tomorrow in Lyons 422. Students who miss the deadline should e-mail arts@bc.edu about a possible second audition. The theme of this year's festival has yet to be determined, but once it's decided student groups will again get the opportunity to make sculptures for placement around campus.
"The alumnus that we're having come to BC and that will be receiving an award will be Amy Poehler," said Murphy. Poehler, a castmember on Saturday Night Live and a former member of My Mother's Fleabag, will perform with the improv group at the Festival, and will appear in "Inside the BC Studio."
