Question: Hello! When does the season run and what are the practice schedules like? - Anonymous

Hey! 

So to answer your questions...

1. Hype has only one show a year so our only auditions are at the beginning of fall semester!

2. The practice scheulde is really what you make of it. Once all of our dancers see the choreo for the show, they get to pick what pieces they want to be in and how many. The average Hypie has about 3-4 hours a week first semester and then a bit more second semester.

Question: Hi do you recruit new members in Spring 2023? If so, how can I apply? - Chaebin Kang

Unfortunately this past spring we did not hold auditions. Every year is different so stay tuned on our instagram @pennhype for updates! Something to note, though, is that we only have one show a year, so even if Hype does hold auditions in the spring, it would be after our show.

Question: Hello! For the audition videos, it seems that Michael's video is not mirrored (the video sides do not match what he is saying for his left and right). Should we just follow the video as we see it and ignore the verbal "left" and "right" instructions? Thank you! - Anonymous
An updated video has been provided in the google folder! Let us know if there are any further issues.
