Audition Information

When arriving to an audition for the Alexandria Singers, please follow posted signs to the audition room. The Membership Vice President will greet you and provide a basic orientation to answer any questions you might have regarding the group. You will be asked to complete an audition form (providing basic contact information and details regarding your musical background/experience).

The auditions are held with the Director, Assistant Director, Accompanist, Choreographer (or their designate), and the Membership VP present, and consist of two segments: singing and choreography.

For the singing portion, you will be asked to sing warm up scales, sight-read music, and sing a prepared piece. Please bring the sheet music with you. If you do not have a prepared piece, the Director will
ask you to sing "My Country Tis of Thee," so that he can hear your voice with the piano.

For the choreography, you will be taught choreographed moves to a song by the Dance Captain and asked to repeat those movements. *Please note, the choreography portion is typically done in groups rather than
one-on-one.

The audition process itself takes about 10-20 minutes. You will be notified by the Membership VP within a week of your audition as to whether or not you have been accepted as a member of the Singers.
