What do I do if I am planning on serving a mission or have served a mission?
Students who are preparing to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints before attending their first semester at BYU are invited to complete the audition process now while your playing abilities are still prime. Complete the application form and select the mission deferment option. Audition materials will be sent to you to practice and record. Submit your audition materials. During auditions for the season you plan to return for, your audition will be reviewed and acceptance will be considered then. Current members will have an opportunity to indicate a desire for mission deferment at the end of their current season. Members that depart for a mission during the winter semester and are unable to take classes do not need to re-audition.
