Any middle or high school student enrolled in a choral music program is eligible to audition for the choir which fits their grade and voice classification.
In order to audition, a student must:
Learn all of their designated All City Choir’s songs completely, and be prepared to sing portions from these selections.
Complete a registration form signed by the student, his/her parent, and her/her choral director.
Students will be notified of audition results shortly after auditions. Directors will notify the students at their respective schools.
Times:
Middle School 6th Grade Treble Choir & Mixed Choir auditions will be held at Huntsville Junior High School on Monday September 16th, or Tuesday, September 17th. Students may audition on either of these days (not both - choose the day that works best). Huntsville Junior High School is located just west of Huntsville Hospital on Adams Street. The address is 817 Adams Street. Please do not arrive earlier than 4:00 as it will interfere with teacher parking and bus routes. Please enter the back parking lot on the right side of the building, or park on Adams Street. Please do not park in the small front parking lot or in the roundabout. Enter from the gym entrance and go to the registration desks. There will be signs to direct you.
Auditions will take place from 4:00-5:30pm. Students may audition at any time during that time frame.
High School SSA Choir & SATB Choir auditions will be held at Lee High School on Monday, September 16, or Tuesday, September 17th, respectively. Students must audition on their assigned day (SSA: Monday. SATB: Tuesday). Lee High School is located at 2500 Meridian St N. Huntsville, AL 35811. Please enter the school around back near the auditorium. Park in the parking lot directly outside of the auditorium, and enter the school where the signs and volunteers will be directing you. Over-flow parking will be across the bridge at the sports fields parking. Please take the sky-bridge over to the main campus and enter at the auditorium.
Auditions will take place from 4:00-5:30pm. Students may audition at any time during that time frame.
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.
Fees:
A fee of $30-35 is charged for all students who pass the audition and are selected to participate in the All-City festival (varies per school due to bus transportation cost). 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.
