What advice would you give to someone who is interested in joining Chromium Winds?

Chromium is still very new so take advantage of the opportunity to be a part of it from early on. The auditions appear more daunting than they really are and we're fortunate to have an incredible staff network that makes the whole experience both enjoyable and educational. When Chromium is up there with the other Cavalier ensembles in a few years, you will have been a part of it from the start- not many can say that!
