How to Audition for The Glee Club

PRELIMINARY AUDITIONS
Preliminary auditions will be held on Thursday and Friday, September 1-2, 2011, 1:00 – 6:00 pm, Bird Studio. To schedule an audition, sign up for a time on the sign-up sheet located on the choral program bulletin board in the Booth Hall quad, just outside the Music Department lobby.

What to expect at the Preliminary Audition:
At the Preliminary Audition you will be asked to sing a solo piece with piano accompaniment. An accompanist will be provided. Pick a piece you know well and feel confident singing; any genre piece is acceptable (classical, opera, musical theatre, folk, hymn, church song, etc.). Please bring three copies of your audition piece. After you sing your solo you will be asked to sing several musical exercises testing intonation, rhythm and sight reading. The entire audition will take around 10 minutes. Results of the preliminary auditions will be posted on the choral program bulletin board and on this website as soon as possible.
