Choose a section that will show off your expertise. The judges might request that you additionally sing a specific section from the same song or a different song on your list.
• Sara will play for auditions, but you are welcome to bring your own accompanist.
• Please gather in the choir room to fill out your audition form and wait your turn. Auditionees will be your audience. Enter the room between auditions only.
• Auditions will be blind, with a panel of judges listening from behind the band room door.
• Results will be posted on this page within a week of the last audition. 
• Soloist for #9 will need to be ready to rehearse with orchestra on November 1st.  All other soloists will rehearse with the orchestra on November 15th.
