For the 2018-2019 School Year
We Want You to be a Part of Our Family
Auditions for Shades of Blue are fast approaching! Don't miss out on your opportunity to be a part of this award-winning ensemble. Students selected for membership will be eligible for PE credit for their participation in this group.
Auditions will be across three days (May 7th-9th) with the final assessment taking place on Wednesday, May 9th beginning at 4:30PM.
Students auditioning for next year’s squad will be assessed on their vocal performance, mastery of choreography, and overall stage presence. Scores from these individual assessments will be added together to determine overall audition scores. Results from this year’s auditions will be posted by Wednesday, May 10th on the CHS Choir Website. A copy of the audition packet with more detailed information is available below.
Audition Training Camp
Audition Training Camp will take place on Monday and Tuesday, May 7th and 8th from 4:30-6:00PM. During this time, students will learn approximately 1:00 minute of a routine that will be used during the audition process as well as a number of skills essential to success in this year’s auditions. Videos of this material will be posted online for student review following the 2nd training session.
Training Session/Audition Attire
- Students should wear clothes in which they can comfortably move, yet appear professional. School appropriate, colorful clothing is highly recommended to help you stand out from the crowd.
- Students are encouraged to wear character shoes if they own them. Those that do not own character shoes should wear tennis shoes with arches for these rehearsals. No sandals, flip-flops or bare feet are permitted.
Additional Audition Requirements
- In addition to learning the audition choreography, students are asked to prepare approximately ONE MINUTE of a pop/jazz/Broadway song of their choosing that best suits their range and present vocal abilities.
- Students should select a piece that represents their personality and sits in a range that they most frequently/comfortably sing in choir. Song selections should be accompanied and at a moderate to fast tempo.
- Accompaniment tracks should be prepared in advance and cued to the part that you wish to audition. CDs are best. Please please do not rely on an internet connection to play the tracks
- The use of slow songs/ballads highly discouraged. Accompaniment tracks/Karaoke tracks for songs should be cut or cued to the exact portion of the song they desire to sing for this audition.
- Vocal performances should exceed more than one-minute in length.
