For the audition—FILL OUT THE AUDITION FORM (available on the opera board in the music building) and bring it with you to the dance audition! On the opera board, you will also sign up for an audition time and you will be able to pick up a sheet that has all of the lyrics to the audition cuts.

Dance: There will be a dance call from 3:45-4:45 pm in the recital hall (nothing needed to prepare, just wear clothes you can move in, and preferably smoother soled shoes so you can dance easier. Don’t let the shoes stop you from auditioning, though).

Singing: You will sing two things.

· The first is 30-45 seconds of something that shows you off well

· Can be any style jazz/pop/broadway/etc.

· You can sing this accompanied or a cappella.

· If you choose to sing it accompanied, you must have sheet music and have the cuts clearly marked and be ready to give the accompanist your tempo.

· We will cut you off if your singing goes over 45 seconds.

The second is something you will prepare from Chicago—

· Treble Singers Cut: “Nowadays”
