2012-13 Audition Information
Inquiry Session: Wednesday, August 15th, 10pm at MA404
Auditions: Thursday, August 16th, and Friday, August 17th at MA404
YOU WILL NOT BE ADMITTED to the audition unless you have COMPLETED the audition form and it is appropriately SIGNED. Audition forms may be downloaded on the Singing Hoosiers website or a copy can be picked up at MA051.
In order to sign up for an audition, you must call 812-855-0427 or sign up in person in MA051.
WE will provide a very talented accompanist to play piano for your audition but you may also:
- bring an accompanist
- accompany yourself
- bring a pre-recorded CD/mp3
- sing a cappella (this should be your last choice)
The Vocal Audition Will Include:
1. The performance of one or two prepared pieces of your choice in a style which best shows off your voice, and makes you most comfortable. Ideally your selections should be in the pop, Broadway, jazz, or Great American Songbook genres, but you should perform what you know and can do best (holiday carols and patriotic songs are acceptable as a last choice!)
2. Sight reading a simple line of music. You will be given a few seconds to look over the excerpt and the starting pitch. RESULTS for CALL BACKS for The Singing Hoosiers will be posted by noon on Saturday August 18 2012 outside of MA404. You will also be sent an e-mail if you provided an e-mail address on the application. Call Backs will be Saturday and the final results of our 2012-13 ensemble will be posted Sunday, August 19th. The first Singing Hoosier rehearsal is Monday August 20 at 3:35 p.m.
If you have any questions about the audition itself, feel free to contact the Singing Hoosiers Student Manager, Jared McElroy at: jzmcelro@indiana.edu
