FAQs

Q. How does the audition work?

You need to complete the Audition Info Form, fill out the Sign Up Genius, prepare the song in the link to YouTube, come in with your audition group, sing with everyone in the room for a while, and then sing briefly on your own. It’s fast paced and fun!

Q. What do the rehearsals entail?

We gather at 3:20, warm up our voices, run through announcements, and rehearse our music as a full ensemble or in sections. We take a break halfway through for a short snack and social time (students provide their own snack and are encouraged to bring a water bottle).

Q. How do I get to rehearsals?

You can get a ride from your parents, carpool with a friend, or ride the bus but get off at the high school. You’ll need to indicate your plan in the audition form.
