B. Song Portion
- 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 1:30). 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 :)
- 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 juggling, 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.
Good luck!

NOTE - Call Backs - the list of first round picks is out - see Mrs. McCauley for your audition feedback sheets. If you got a Call Back, use the feedback from your sheets and prepare a NEW song for vocals that shows your best voice, and PERFECT the Believer dance (focus on energy, facials, emotion with body and face, mouthing the words, crispness and angles). The call backs will be on Tues. September 12th from 2:30-4:30pm.
NOTE- Dancing verses singing for choir members? If you are a dancer but don't feel you have strong singing skills, or vice versa, come out to the auditions. We will have opportunities for you!
