  1. Each student auditioning must complete the audition registration form. The deadline for completing the form is October 1, at 11:59 p.m. The registration form requires information from the student and teacher.  Teachers are strongly encouraged to set aside time to complete the registration with their students.
  2. Each school will be allowed up to ten student auditions. You may bring up to four (4) students of any voice part (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, & Bass), not to exceed ten (10) students total from your school. To clarify divisi, for example, both soprano 1 & 2 together would count toward your four soprano maximum. You may not audition four Soprano 1s and four Soprano 2s.
  3. The audition selection is René Clausen’s “O, My Luve’s Like a Red, Red Rose.”
    The specific excerpts are:
    Soprano and Alto m61-m78
    Tenor and Bass m25-m42
    Students may use music during the audition but may not use photocopies.
  4. All students must audition with the audition accompaniment track. The track will be provided by the judge at the audition site, and is the same as the track you can download below.
