Show Choir Auditions

Show choir auditions are taking place coming up. If you are unfamiliar with what show choir is and stuff like that then I suggest that you read my blog from before this blog that is entitled “Show Choir”. If you are familiar and/or you have read that blog, then continue as you are probably going to understand this content a lot better this way.

Show choir auditions happen once every year with one exception. They occur right about now, in the spring, to decide the various groups for the upcoming year. There are many choirs that take place in Kennedy, and to be in a show choir one must also be in a choir. Thus, the auditions are partly the same. The signing auditions for show choir are the same as the auditions for a choir. However, there is also a dancing audition for show choir because that is another very important component of show choir. There are three different show choirs in Kennedy High School. The show choirs are the freshman show choir that is called Chauneteurs, the junior varsity show choir that is called Protégé, and the varsity show choir that is called Happiness Inc. They all use the same audition process to make it easier to separate who belongs with which group. The process includes singing and dancing, as stated earlier. One day after school for the dancing portion of the audition the students who are auditioning go to the choir room and learn a dance. The dance is very short and simple, although it is something new that they will have to learn. They then practice that dance and perform it for the directors who critique them. This whole process takes a few hours right after school. That, however, is only part of the audition. As stated earlier the students who are applying also have to sing. The singing auditions are that you sign up for a time and go to the choir room and do a bling audition. That means that all the directors are behind something that obstructs their view of you so that they do not know who you are, which is an attempt to eliminate bias in the auditions. The students who are auditioning sing a song of their choice that they have prepared along with the song “My Country Tis of Thee”. This gives a baseline to be able to compare everyone together as well as giving the students a chance to show off their singing skills and abilities.

However, Chaunteurs has an additional audition. Because it is the freshman show choir, they have an additional audition in the fall for the new freshman that might’ve wanted to do show choir but didn’t realize it until then or for anyone else who missed the spring auditions. Thus, the freshman get a second chance at auditioning if they so choose to accept it and if they want to audition and missed the auditioning date in the spring.

Anyway, the auditions for show choir for the 2016-2017 school year is coming up at Kennedy High School so if you want to be in a show choir don’t miss out!
