October 2 Update
Audition Sign Up Link
CLICK HERE to sign up for your audition time slot. The link is available from noon on October 2 through noon on October 6. For each time slot, there are two spots for Sopranos, two for Altos, and two for Lower Voices. Select any open spot for your chosen voice part.
Audition Structure
Auditions will be held in the Sanctuary at Asbury United Methodist Church. 30-minute audition time slots will be offered on the afternoons of October 7 and 8; choose a time slot that works best for your schedule.
Students will audition in mixed-voice groups, performing assigned excerpts from our repertoire (see list below). While you do not need to memorize the audition excerpt, you must know the music extremely well and be able to sing your part confidently against other parts (use the sheet music your received and the recordings provided in THE HUB to prepare). Auditions will be evaluated on accuracy and preparedness.
Arrive 10 minutes early to your audition time slot to sign in and submit your forms.
Stay 15 minutes after your audition time slot if you need to be fitted for a performance uniform. All new singers need to be fitted. Returning singers, TRY ON YOUR UNIFORM before coming to your audition; if all or part of it will not fit you by the spring, stay for the fitting to select new sizes/replacements.
$25 tuition deposit is due at your audition. (If you are not selected for JHC, it will be returned to you.) The rest of your tuition plus your outfit fee is not due until November 19.
