How to Audition for The Glee Club

Preliminary Auditions

Preliminary auditions will be held on Thursday and Friday, August 30-31, 2012 in Bird Studio, located in the music quad. Auditions on Thursday will be held from 2:00-6:00pm and Friday from 1:00-4:45pm. To schedule an audition, sign up for a time on the sign-up sheet located on the choral program bulletin board in the Booth Hall quad, just inside the Music Department lobby.

What to expect at the Preliminary Audition:
At the preliminary audition you will be asked to sing one of the folk songs posted outside Desiree LaVertu's office in the Booth Hall quad. There will be only one option per part. Pick the one in the voice part you feel most comfortable in. Be prepared to sing it to musical accompaniment during your sign up time; an accompanist will be provided. After you sing your solo you will be asked to sing several musical exercises that will test intonation, rhythm and sight reading. The entire audition will take around 10 minutes. Results of the preliminary auditions will be posted on the choral program bulletin board and emailed out as soon as possible.

Callbacks & Quartet Auditions

Callbacks will be held on Tuesday, September 4, in Booth 208 from 12:30-1:00pm. All potential members MUST attend this rehearsal. The musical selections will be rehearsed to prepare you for the Quartet auditions.

The final stage of the Glee Club audition process is the Quartet Audition, held that night- Tuesday, September 4- from 6:30-10:30pm in Booth 204. You will sing your part along with the section leaders of the other parts.
