Audition Information:

Audition Forms

All 7th - 9th grade students must audition to participate in the Young Voices Festival. Sixth grade girls participating in the Junior High Girls Choir must also audition. Directors may bring an unlimited number of students to audition. Our goal is to include all students who have prepared their music and have a balanced festival choir. With this goal in mind directors bringing only girls MUST audition for the Junior High Girls Choir and equally divide the treble parts (Sop1, Sop1 / 2, Sop2 / Alto, Alto).

In an effort to produce a balanced festival choir, directors bringing students to audition for the Junior High Mixed Choir should balance your audition group by bringing the same number of Sopranos, Altos, Tenors and Basses. Please equally divide the treble parts (Sop1, Sop1 / 2, Sop2 / Alto, Alto) if there is a divisi in the treble part.

Students are not required to memorize music for the audition. However, all students selected to participate must have their music memorized for the festival. Students must know each piece in the original language at the time of auditions. Singing on a neutral syllable will not be permitted. Auditions will be conducted by members of the Young Voices Committee and/or ACDA officers. Results of the auditions will be mailed to each director by March 1.

Auditions for the Junior Girls Choir and the Junior Mixed Choir will be held Saturday February 7 at four locations throughout the state. Directors may choose which location is most convenient for them.
