VOCAL AUDITIONS
for both Traditional Choirs and Show Choirs
The audition will consist of the following for all singers: RANGE CHECK We will do a few warm ups to check your range and determine current voice part. PATRIOTIC SOLO You will sing My Country Tis of Thee a capella in a range that works best for you (based on the range check we do). Current JHS Students auditioning for Concert Choir & Declaration will also have the following components: SIGHT READING You will sight read a section of music. TONAL MEMORY You will echo back patterns of pitches played on the piano, showing us the level at which your ear interprets the music it hears. |
SHOW CHOIR DANCE AUDITIONS
THE CHOREOGRAPHY/PERFORMANCE AUDITION Choreography will be taught on site the day of auditions. There is nothing to prepare ahead of time. Just show up in comfortable clothes/shoes to dance in. Please complete the audition form linked below prior to your audition, if possible. We will also have some chromebooks available at auditions to fill the form out at that time, if needed. If you are not able to attend any of the scheduled audition times, please email john.parezo@k12.sd.us to set up an alternate audition time. Thank you! |
If you have questions or would like to arrange for an alternate audition time, please email john.parezo@k12.sd.us.
