The 2024 Cal-Western NATS Regional auditions will be held as hybrid auditions. Because the Regional auditions serve to select the students who advance to the National YouTube round, we adhere closely to all national NATS standards. The Regional auditions are not directly connected to the chapter/district auditions. This means any student studying with a NATS teacher in the Cal-Western region may participate, regardless of participation or placement in chapter/district auditions. Conversely, placing in chapter/district auditions does not affect standing in the regional auditions.
The first round of auditions will be held virtually in the fall of 2023. The live semi-finals and finals will be held at the 2024 Regional Conference and Auditions in Salt Lake City, Utah, from January 12-14, 2024. Students must present the same repertoire at all rounds of the auditions, including the national rounds.
