Vocal Music Scholarship Audition Guidelines

The Vocal Music & Dance Department offers a wide variety of opportunities to sing. Our in-state tuition and books scholarships are in high demand and we encourage all interested students to submit audition materials as soon as possible. Students do not need to be music majors to receive in-state tuition and books scholarships. 

TO PREPARE FOR AN AUDITION:

All students must register for their audition by filling out the Vocal Music & Dance online registration form.

Register for Vocal Music Audition

Prospective students will need to prepare:

  • Short segments of two (2) songs that show off your range and ability in contrasting styles. This is your opportunity to show us your best singing in any style.  Sing something you love!  Students are encouraged to sing one song “a cappella” and one with an accompanist or accompaniment track.  Students may also accompany themselves.
  • The "Star-Spangled Banner" or "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" in any key, a cappella.
  • Students should fill out the Vocal Music Student Information Form
  • Students should ask a music teacher to submit the Vocal Music Teacher Recommendation Form.
  • All students will be asked to participate in a short dance audition at their audition.  It is fun and accessible for all levels of dancers!  You may want to bring some extra clothes you can easily move in for the dance audition.

Students who register for an audition will be sent a schedule approximately one week prior to their chosen audition date.  Please plan to keep the day open for the audition and interview process.  If you have questions about your audition or what to prepare, send an email to [email protected].

Frequently Asked Question: Can I audition for more than one activity?
Answer: Students may audition for multiple activities, but only one on any given audition date. If you wish to audition for multiple departments, select your "primary" interest for the official audition date, and submit audition requests for the others on different dates or request to be contacted. Students may only recieve one Activity Scholarship.
