Which choir is which?
Check out the ABOUT US page. Super informative. If you are NEW to the PHS Choirs, start there. There are pictures and videos and all the cool info is there. :-)
Are you having auditions this year?
- No. Only for Show Choir. There was no equitable way to do auditions for Chamber Choir this year.
What if I don't think I'm a good enough singer?
- That's why you take a class. So you learn how to do something. You aren't supposed to already know how to do it before you learn. Now, there will be people in every class that have a variety of experiences and different starting points, but the cool thing about choir is it is a team. You know how in football, its 11 as 1? In choir, it's 167 as 1. We draw on each other's strengths and we help each other to achieve greatness.
What class do I sign up for?
- If you will be a freshman, please sign up for Concert Choir.
- If you were in Chamber Choir last year, please sign up for Chamber Choir.
- At this time, I would like to have only the people who have been in Show Choir in the past sign up for Show Choir, and we will plan to have auditions asap in the fall, and add people after the first week or so. WE WILL HAVE OPEN SPOTS!!
- If you were in Concert Choir last year, OR if you were not in choir last year, and you will be a sophomore, junior, or a senior - well, you guys are the tricky ones. I assume you signed up for the choir that you think fits you best, and if I strongly disagree, I'll let you know. And if you didn't because you were nervous or shy or overconfident, then we will talk about it. :-)
What should I prepare for a Show Choir audition?
- Whatever you think shows you to your best advantage! I'm looking for musicians that have a lot of stage presence, that sing well, that work well in a team environment, that are humble and confident, and that are willing to try new things. So, that can be shown with a million different htings! You can sing karaoke style or accompany yourself, you can sing the Oscar Meyer weiner song or the latest Taylor Swift song or rap.....just be prepared and PERFORM!
