Please prepare 16 bars (or verse chorus) of a song of your choice. You are encouraged to sing something that shows off your vocal range. A pianist will be provided for the auditions, however, if you prefer to bring your own accompanist, you may. Please ensure that your sheet music is legible and marked for the pianist to best support you.
