Audition materials are due January 17, 2025.

Music Information and Recording Reminders

Each student is required to record two vocalise/scales and a recording of the solo, which this year will be "The Water is Wide.” The student should be given the starting pitch, but each section of the audition should be sung unaccompanied. Please use the given pitch files for the audition. Wait for the click track and then sing (scale- 4 clicks, solo-3 clicks).  Overlapping the starting pitch with the voice will result in a disqualified audition. The starting pitch file should be heard in the recording. 

They should use the following script when creating their audition recording:

• “Hello, my name is_____, I am in the ____ grade and I am auditioning for the voice part of ______. “

The teacher should then play the starting pitch files in the following order: Low vocalise/scale, high vocalise/scale, solo.

Each section of the audition may be recorded separately and combined into a single track on a software program such as Garageband. However, an individual section must be recorded in a single take (For example: The first vocalise cannot have an edited portion within the singing segment.  However, vocalise 1 and vocalise 2 can be recorded separately.)  Evidence of splicing or audio enhancement effects in the middle of a single singing section will result in disqualification.
