Round one audition applications open mid March for one week, usually a Friday to Sunday. A week later candidates will receive a notification if they’ve advanced to the second round. The Dcc live auditions will then occur the entire month of April. Show locations are mainly based in Texas, with some Oklahoma and Arkansas additions. The end of April is when online round two auditions are due as well.
Final auditions and training camp
By early May, online audition candidates who passed round two will receive an invitation for their final audition. This will be an in-person audition typically held at The Star in early June after the invitation.

If you are selected for training camp, and ultimately the final team, there are three to four rehearsals per week lasting two to three house each, as well as performing at approximately 10 home games.
