When Can I Audition?
Choral Placement Auditions for Concert Choir and Collegiate Chorale for the fall semester are held the first two days of the semester with callback auditions the second half of the week. Auditions for the spring are held at the end of the fall semester. Signup forms for auditions will be available within a couple of weeks before each audition period. If you are unable to audition at the designated times or have other questions, please email choirs@ksu.edu.
What is the Audition Like?
At your audition, you will be asked to sing a short excerpt of song of your choosing in a style you feel most comfortable. You are welcome to bring sheet music for , or you may choose to sing unaccompanied. If you do not have song prepared, the directors may ask you to sing a few scales or other simple vocal exercises.
Callback auditions are held for Concert Choir only. If you are selected for a callback audition, you will be sent short selections to learn in advance and perform as part of small and large groups. Callbacks are held Wednesday and Thursday of the first week of class with Choir rosters will be announced the Thursday evening.
