SPRING 2025 AUDITION DATES AND TIMES
AUDITIONS
Auditions for next year's ensembles for rising 9th graders and current Broughton students who are new to vocal music will take place on March 10th and 11th, 2025 from 2:30-5:00 in the Chorus Room. Current vocal music students will audition during class time.
Auditions will consist of:
A prepared piece (click to access) SOPRANO ALTO TENOR BASS-BARITONE
Tonal recognition exercises
Vocal technique exercises
Rhythmic reading
Sight-singing.
Any student not able to attend in-person auditions may submit a video audition and then schedule the other components of the audition individually with Mr. Michalec.
All students wanting to participate in the vocal music program at Broughton must audition for Mr. Michalec.
There are NO "cuts" and everyone who auditions is placed into one of our choral classes.
The audition is to determine voicing and current musical development to ensure all students are placed into a class that a) suits their needs as a musician and b) ensures that we have balanced ensembles.
REGISTERING FOR COURSES
Rising 9th Graders with Chorus Experience
Rising 9th Graders who took chorus in middle school should register for “Choral Music 2 Intermediate”.
Rising 9th Graders and Current High Schoolers with No Chorus Experience
Rising 9th graders who did not take chorus in middle school should register for “Choral Music 1 Beginning”. The same applies to current Broughton students who have never taken chorus but want to learn how to sing and be part of our ensembles.

Current students will register for their current level until placement auditions are conducted. Mr. Michalec will adjust levels accordingly.
