For individual auditions, please prepare a 60-second vocal solo showcasing your talents. Backtracks are strongly discouraged. Live accompaniment is encouraged but not provided and singing a cappella is acceptable.  During auditions, Mr. Woolf will have you complete a very simple sight singing/rhythm passage.  You will then be tested on your vocal range and ability to match pitch. A short question-and-answer period will follow.

 

It is your responsibility to be warmed-up prior to your audition. 

​

You are also responsible to thoroughly learn and memorize your audition songs. This includes your solo and for HS/MS audition, your voice part (SATB) for the group auditions.  If you are currently in choir, learn your current voice part, or if not, you can ask Mr. Woolf what part you should learn.  The group audition will require applicants to sing the required group music in both a large and small group ensemble. Practice tracks are located on this website under the "Practice" button. 

 

Remember: This is an audition--be prepared, look nice and do your best!

​

Good Luck!
