B. Song Portion - Tuesday, September 10th from 2:30-4:30pm:
- Song of your Choice - showcase your best style (whatever that is) and it must be memorized and you must use a backing track or live instrument accompaniment, NO A CAPELLA (max 30 seconds). Choose a song that really shows your best vocal range and style, and be sure to give a full 'show choir' performance full of stage presence (body movement, facial expression, style and expression/dynamics). No Cd's either please :) And since you only have 30 seconds to show us your BEST singing, choose the part of the song wisely and have your backing track cued up on your phone.
- Show/Describe to us one skill/talent you have - can you do something that is very unique? It could be a particular type of dance or movement, a skill like doing hair or makeup, playing an instrument, sewing, painting, or a skill like organizing fundraisers. Either show us or tell us (max 30 seconds)
C. Application Form - Fill out this Application Form, BEFORE THE AUDITION, as you have part of it filled out by your parents.

NOTE - Call Backs - It is possible that after these auditions you will get a call back. If you do, get your feedback sheet from Mrs. McCauley, and use this info to prepare a NEW song for vocals that shows your best voice, and PERFECT the movements (focus on energy, facials, emotion with body and face, singing the melody or harmony, crispness and angles). The call backs will be on Tuesday, September 10th from 2:30-4:30pm.
