Procedures
Students should go to the registration desk for their choir. Give the adult at the desk your name, the name of your school, and your voice part. Students will be assigned a number and directed to a waiting area. Students will wait until their number is called for the vocal audition. Parents do not accompany students into the audition room. Each student will be judged on his/her knowledge of the music, beauty and vitality of tone, and pitch matching.

This covers bus transportation, guest conductor expenses, and concert facility use. By charging this fee, there will be no admission charge to the concert or parking expense. SEND NO MONEY NOW. The fee will be collected after the auditions. Please see your Choral Director for accurate fee charge.
