Choral Talent Award Requirements

For your in person audition, you will need to do two contrasting stylistic pieces if possible…ex.

Memorization is not mandatory as I want to hear your lovely voice more than anything. 

In addition, I will have you do the Star Spangled Banner a capella as well on the note of your choice.  In addition, we may do some sight reading, pitch matching, etc. as well.  I promise it is totally painless J

For a virtual audition, you will follow the same above, minus the pitch matching or sight singing and you may email them separately or all in the same email.  Please make sure you include what voice part you sing, what performance groups you have participated in during your high school years,  what major you are currently looking at and 3 adjectives to describe yourself 😊
