5. Audition Tips….
Keep this in mind…..Everyone is nervous. Your judges will be other music teachers in town. They like kids and they are rooting for you! They have to say “yes” or “no” according to what they hear in a very short amount of time. Practicing will help you do your best.
They are looking to see if you can blend with other singers in a choir! (No “American Idols” here please!)
To avoid standing in a long line….. Come as early as you can on either day, but especially on the first day. Or, come at 5:15 on either day. It is not that bad standing in line though. You will fill out forms and meet other singers. You can do homework or read a book or play with your phone or sing!
