Auditions for the 2008-2009 season will be held at the First United Methodist Church beginning Wednesday, August 22, 2008. Singers may contact the director by phone at 907-388-0543 or e-mail to set up an audition time.

Auditions last approximately 20 - 30 minutes and are held with a small group with 4 - 5 other children. During the audition the children will demonstrate the following skills: pitch-matching, echo- singing with the director, singing "America" or "Frere Jacques", singing high to low vocal range, listening to intervals played on the piano and singing them to the director, rhythm clapping, sight-singing a line of music using solfege or note names.

Acceptance into the choir requires the children to form a commitment to the group. They should feel proud to be a member of our community's children's choir and take that responsibility seriously. Each singer is expected to remain active and committed for the entire term which runs from late August to early June.

In addition to the weekly practices every member is expected to spend time each day memorizing and learning the music. A child committed to this effort will reap great rewards as a singer, performer and a "team player".

Answers to some frequently asked questions have been posted here. Information about tuition policies and fees, performance attire, rehearsal schedule and attendance policies are provided in the choir handbook.
