Returning members do not need to complete a vocal audition unless you would like to audition into HTS/TIP. If you would like to sign up for a vocal audition, you have the opportunity to do so on the audition sign-up form here.
Vocal auditions will take place on Monday, August 03 and Wednesday, August 05 from 5:30-8:30pm. The vocal audition duration is 7 minutes.
All singers will be taken through a vocal warm up and then will sing about 30 seconds of a song of your choosing. Using a backing track is highly recommended. Then, to audition into HTS or TIP, you will prepare and sing your preferred voice part on one of two pieces. Your preferred voice part will be muted for the audition but the other voice parts will be audible. Audition materials for small ensemble placement (including sheet music, practice track for voice parts, and practice tracks without preferred voice parts) will be emailed to you a week before auditions.

The audition sign-up form is live and available here!

When you are going to be absent, you need to notify your Section Leader and Artistic Director.
