AUDITIONS FOR VOCAL ENSEMBLE GT
AND CHAMBER CHOIR GT To be considered for an advanced choral group, you will need to submit a video of you singing and demonstrating your aural and sight singing skills. There's no need to feel nervous about submitting audition materials. Think of it just as a way to show a little more about you and your musical progress so far. Try your best, and remember, we're not looking for perfection, just to get to know you. The fact that you're interested in an upper level group already says a lot! Auditions should be submitted by Jan. 7th, 2024 Please read through all of the instructions below carefully before preparing your video. Have this website open so you can play the audio files below when you record. Before submitting, please review your video to make sure your voice is clearly heard and you are clearly seen.
