A prepared piece is not necessary. You will be asked to sing "My Country 'Tis of Thee," will be vocalized to determine your range, and will be asked to demonstrate sight-reading, interval, and tonal memory skills. The audition lasts approximately 10 minutes.

Participation in Concert Choir does not require an audition. Simply register for MUS 225/425 and we'll see you at the first rehearsal.
