Auditions are fast approaching. They are Wednesday, February 1st and Thursday, February 2nd.

The audition process for Milling Around is fairly simple.

Auditions will be held in ROOM 108 (the Student Activities Center).

Auditions will be approximately ten minutes in length. (i.e. 10:00, 10:10, 10:20, etc..)

Preparation is key:

Practice your song a cappella - there will be no piano or boombox to sing along.

Sing your song for someone else - don't let the first time singing in front of someone be for the audition.

Know how to calm your nerves.

Plan your audition time with at least a few moments to spare (if you have a class that ends at 3:30 - don't choose a 3:30 time slot :-) ).

The audition will consist of a:

Brief warm up/range check to see what your vocal range is

Brief verbal introduction of who you are and what you're like - nothing hard, we promise.

Chance for you to show off how well you sing (a cappella song)

Try and choose a song that shows off your range/talents

Don't choose Happy Birthday or Mary had a Little Lamb

Chance for you to ask any questions you might have

A few more keys to think about...

Don't think this is just a group to join for fun. Sure, lots of fun will be had, but there will be a lot of hard work too.

Also don't worry about the audition. A trained musician can hear over audition jitters.
