I encourage all of you to continue working on your skills and keep improving! I would be happy to discuss your audition with you no matter what the outcome.
Please do not copy and paste the list to social media. Everyone should have the chance to access it via the links posted. Thank you.
The Noteables Show Choir is an auditioned extra-curricular music ensemble that performs music from all styles, including pop and rock, in a high-energy competition setting that is different from a formal concert setting. The Noteables compete throughout the Midwest and perform for many different audiences!
There are 3 different student roles that make up The Noteables Show Choir, and they are as follows:
Singer/Dancers are students who sing and dance on stage. If you love to sing and/or dance, or are even interested in trying it, and have never done both at the same time, give it a try! You will never know if you can succeed until you try!
The Instrumental Combo is made up of students who play instruments ranging from the rhythm section (drums, bass, guitar, keyboard) to brass to strings to woodwinds. The Combo plays the instrumental part of the show, and is featured during dance breaks and instrumental sections!
The Stage Crew is made up of students who work backstage building the set, helping with sound (microphones, etc.), and lighting. These students also help with costume changes and help the show to run smoothly in general. The Noteables competition show cannot work without The Noteables Stage Crew!
If you have a smart phone, you can use your smart phone to submit your entire audition, and/or your PCHS-issued Chromebook, and/or another device if you have it. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Grizzard at lgrizzard@pekinhigh.net!
Auditions will close at 4:00 PM on Friday, August 28, so submit your audition today!
New Potential Noteables Members: Complete all audition Google forms (below, under "Audition Forms") as well as your audition video(s) and submit to Mrs. Grizzard via Google, Dropbox, unlisted YouTube link, or whatever format works best for you. Mrs. Grizzard will post the final list of Noteables Show Choir Members 2020-2021 on this page at 8:00 PM on Friday, August 28.
Returning Noteables Members: Complete all audition Google forms and submit to Mrs. Grizzard. If you are hoping to remain in the same Noteables role (singer/dancer, combo member playing the same instrument(s), stage crew member), additional audition videos are not required. However, if you want to change roles (for example, you were in the combo but want to be a singer/dancer, you would like to switch instruments in the combo, you were on stage crew but want to be a singer/dancer, etc.), please submit an audition video for the new role you hope to attain and note on your audition form whether or not you would accept your previous role. Returning members will be notified of their acceptance to the group on a rolling basis.
Returning members interested in auditioning/interviewing for Leadership Positions should click here for more information.
Here is what to prepare to plan for success:
Potential Singer/Dancers should prepare a familiar song that shows off their vocal range and best technical ability. Please stay under 2 minutes (or approximately 32 measures). While accompaniment is strongly recommended (piano or backtrack on CD or separate device), a cappella singing will be allowed.
Potential Singer/Dancers will also learn and complete the Dance Audition from the virtual choreography videos and submit a different video of their dancing in comfortable but school appropriate clothing.
Potential Singer/Dancers will submit a total of two videos (one singing, one dancing).
Limited in-person auditions may take place once school starts in the PCHS choir room for those who are unable to complete their audition electronically. Please contact Mrs. Grizzard if you need to schedule an in-person audition. *Please note that the possibility of in-person auditions are reliant on the current public health situation and may be scheduled to change with short notice.
If you are interested in being a Singer/Dancer, contact your PCHS counselor TODAY to make sure that you are signed up for a curricular choir! All Singer/Dancers need to be enrolled in a PCHS curricular choir, so regardless of the outcome of your audition, make sure that you are enrolled in choir so that it fits in your schedule (contact Mrs. Grizzard with questions or potential conflicts).
Potential Combo Members should prepare 24 measures of their favorite piece that shows off their instrumental range and technical ability, with or without accompaniment (piano or backtrack on CD or separate device) and submit one video of their playing.
Combo members who would like to audition on more than one instrument should submit a separate video per instrument, following the above guidelines.
Limited in-person auditions may take place once school starts in the PCHS choir room for those who are unable to complete their audition electronically. Please contact Mrs. Grizzard if you need to schedule an in-person audition. *Please note that the possibility of in-person auditions are reliant on the current public health situation and may be scheduled to change with short notice.
If you are interested in being part of the Combo, contact your PCHS counselor TODAY to make sure that you are enrolled in a curricular instrumental ensemble (band or orchestra)! Combo members need to be enrolled in a PCHS curricular instrumental ensemble, so regardless of the outcome of your audition, make sure that you are enrolled in an ensemble so that it fits in your schedule (contact Mrs. Grizzard with questions or potential conflicts).
Potential Stage Crew Members should prepare spoken responses that discuss their interest and experience in backstage work, interest in being involved with the Noteables, why they want to be a part of the team, and anything else that may be relevant to The Noteables Stage Crew. Potential stage crew members will submit one video of their spoken responses to the above topics.
Limited in-person interviews may take place once school starts in the PCHS choir room for those who are unable to complete their interview electronically. Please contact Mrs. Grizzard if you need to schedule an in-person interview. *Please note that the possibility of in-person auditions are reliant on the current public health situation and may be scheduled to change with short notice.
You may audition for more than one role (Singer/Dancer, Combo, Stage Crew), just submit a video(s) for each role you are interested in (singing, dancing, AND playing an instrument for Singer/Dancer and Combo, for example; or speaking about your interest in Noteables and singing and dancing for Combo and Singer/Dancer).
Virtual Audition Details:
Choreography video(s) are posted for potential Singer/Dancers to learn an audition dance routine here
Google forms are posted below for potential Combo, Stage Crew Members, and Singer/Dancers to submit their respective auditions
All potential Noteables members should have their audition forms electronically completed and submitted by the time they submit their audition video(s).
REMEMBER: Any previous Noteables will be required to complete an individual AUDITION or INTERVIEW for the Noteables as part of this process if they are hoping to switch roles within the group and/or are interested in auditioning for a leadership position.
All returning members interested in a leadership position: click here for more information.
Mrs. Grizzard reserves the right to ask anyone auditioning for additional video(s) to clarify skills, range, etc. This will serve as a callback audition, and will be communicated via student and parent/guardian e-mail provided on your audition forms if additional video(s) are requested.
All submitted videos will NOT be shared with the public, and will only be seen by Mrs. Grizzard and additional qualified audition judges in order to determine eligibility for the group.
** The FINAL list of The Noteables 2020-2021 will be posted on this page at 8:00 PM on Friday, August 28. **
All potential Noteables members will be required to submit three forms before their audition:
1. Parent/Guardian Permission Form
