The Process 

The Vocal Audition will consist of the performance of a prepared solo, evaluation of tonal memory and sight singing. Evaluation will also be based upon potential ability, performance skills and knowledge of music fundamentals. Students will be placed into the vocal class that best reflects their current vocal placement.​​ 

Show Choir dance auditions will be held the morning of March 14th. The audition video will be posted here soon.
