The auditions for the 2013-2014 The A Cappella Group will be held in the choir room. Any student that wishes to be a member must audition. Audition Requirements: 1. Sing an unaccompanied solo that is 1 minute or less. This should be a contemporary song and not classical or musical theatre in nature. The song should show off your voice in both style and range. If you are a high soprano, don't sing a song that is really low. You must also PERFORM the solo. Don't just sing it. You need to demonstrate a connection to the lyrics and really be expressive in your performance. 2. Perform your part with other singers. You must learn two pieces of music that will be available on this site the week before school starts and hard copies will be available at the Saturday Spectacular on August 3 and also the first day of school. You will learn your parts and sing one song together with other people with only one person on each part. You your part on the other song along with the mixdown. This is the most important part of the audition. Part singing is the main thing that you will do in the group and you must be able to be independent and hold your part. Devote most of your time to this part of the audition. Students have been selected to be members of the group with an average solo and great part singing. No student has ever been selected that had an amazing solo, but couldn't hold a harmony part. All parts of the audition will be recorded.
