How to Prepare for Your Audition:
Vocalists:
Please prepare 1-2 songs. These songs should showcase your vocal range as well as demonstrate your versatility stylistically. We would like each song to be about 1:30 in length. If your song goes beyond 1:30, be prepared for us to stop you.
We have provided a list of song recommendations in our Video/Music Resources folder (linked above). This folder includes the backtracks and song lyrics. However if you would like to provide your own music, your audio tracks can be emailed as mp3 or via a YouTube link. Please do this prior to the audition date so we can be ready and keep things moving. Please put in subject line of the email both your “name” and the word “audition”. You can also bring an audio device/cell phone but make sure it is equipped with an 1/8 inch head phone jack/dongle for audio hookup and is in “do not disturb” mode.
For vocalists who are interested in showcasing their choreography skills, we have provided a pre choreographed number for you to learn. This is not mandatory but it is encouraged. You will find Jingle Bell Rock in the google drive resources folder so you can prepare in advance.
*Please come with a list of rehearsal conflicts for the months of October, November and December.
​
Dancers:
​
​​
Female Dancers: We have provided 1 choreographed dance (lyrical style) which can be found in the Video/Music Resources folder (linked above). Please learn and prepare this dance for your audition. In addition to technique and skill set, we will be evaluating stage presence and showmanship qualities. If you would like to perform another style of dance or a special skills set in addition to the pre choreographed dance provided, you are more than welcome to!
​
Male Dancers: You may use the pre choreographed piece or you can choreograph your own dance number, as the audition piece is geared more towards the ladies. Please send your music to Tim, via email with your "name" and the word "audition" in subject line. You can also bring an audio device/cell phone but make sure it is equipped with an 1/8 inch head phone jack/dongle for audio hookup and is in “do not disturb” mode.
If you are providing your own music, music tracks can be emailed as mp3 or via a YouTube link. Please do this prior to the audition date so we can be ready and keep things moving. Please put in subject line of the email both your “name” and the word “audition”. You can also bring an audio device/cell phone but make sure it is equipped with an 1/8 inch head phone jack/dongle for audio hookup and is in “do not disturb” mode.
Lastly, our music director is encouraging as many dancers as possible to come prepared to sing Jingle Bell Rock and perform a simple choreography accompaniment. This is not mandatory but encouraged for all who are interested. The material for this is in the resources folder in the google drive.
* Please come with a list of your rehearsal conflicts for October, November and December.
Swing Dancers:
Please prepare 1-2 songs, 1 minute in length to showcase the very best of your skills, tricks and showmanship!​
Circus/Aerial Arts:
We are looking for a 30 second (minimum) demonstration of your particular skill set. If auditioning for aerialist arts please let us know in advance so we can ensure proper rigging for your audition piece.
In this category not only the skill itself but also the showmanship quality is evaluated. Music tracks are not required but if you have something choreographed to music we would love to see!
