The hymn selection must be taken from traditional church hymnody which excludes contemporary choruses or church choir anthems. If you choose to sing a hymn, do not sing any other part than the melody.
There will be a brief sight reading portion of the audition.
Bring three copies of your solo selection to your audition.
Bring a pencil.
Be at least fifteen minutes early for your scheduled audition time.
