Choral Auditions for 2024/25

  • Participation in a core ensemble is compulsory for everyone in an auditioned choir.

Vocal Ensembles

  • Auditioned vocal ensembles are available for students from Year 6 – 12 (current Year 5-11 students)
  • These ensembles will sing a mix of repertoire, from including some contemporary, jazz, pop, musical theatre, and classical.  
  • Term 4 rehearsals: Wednesday before school (7.20am – 8.20am) for Resonance (Year 6-8) and Harmonix (Year 9-12), Friday after school (3.45pm – 5pm) for Senior Vocal Ensemble (Year 10-12)

Jazz Vocal Group

The Jazz Vocal Group is a small auditioned ensemble for singers who are interested in singing jazz harmonies and extending their improvisation skills. There will be a focus on one-person-per-part singing. The Jazz Vocal Group will rehearse at a time that suits all members (not necessarily Friday mornings next year).
 
The Jazz Vocal Group is open to students in Year 9 – 12 (2025).
 

Audition Requirements 

Auditions for all groups will be held at the beginning of Term 4 at the following times:

Week 1:

Week 2:

Monday lunchtime (Students in Years 5/6/7)

Sign up sheets will be on the Singing Noticeboard upstairs in the Music School.  You’ll need to sing approximately 1 minute of a song of your choice, unaccompanied.  You will then complete some part singing exercises and ear tests.
