The Fall 2009 season auditions will be held August 10th and August 17, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. by scheduled appointment.

To schedule an audition time, call Carrie at 843-478-1407 or e-mail us at:  auditions@singersofsummerville.org   Please provide your name, e-mail address, contact telephone number, and preferred date and time for your audition. Someone will contact you to discuss audition date and time options.

Those auditioning should be prepared to do the following before a three or four member selection committee:

-- Inform the committee of your past musical training and experiences by completing an audition card when you arrive for your appointment - please arrive a little early for your appointment to fill out this card.

-- Know your schedule through November 2009 in advance and discuss any rehearsal conflicts you may have - rehearsals are normally Monday nights (starting on August 24th) and some Thursdays starting two weeks before a performance. Normally only three absences are permitted.

-- Vocalize on neutral vowels unaccompanied for range and aural skills; Sing the melody and your specific part ( soprano, alto , tenor, or bass ) of a musical selection chosen by the Director with accompaniment; Sing a familiar musical selection chosen by the Director a cappella ; Sing a selection by sight-reading the music a cappella ( if you do not read music inform the committee – you may have other abilities to learn music that may enable selection and those can be tested as well).

-- No music routine preparation is necessary - all music and other requirements will be provided at the audition.

Auditions are normally conducted at Bethany United Methodist Church, Summerville, in the 2nd floor music room ( Room 234 ). Enter the rear entrance, go up the stairs, turn right, then left, turn right at next hallway, Room 234 is on the right.
