Before we get into the details of the audition, we would just like to say that we are so excited you want to join our group! We work hard and have a lot of fun and we're excited that it has caught your attention!

Auditions this year will take place during NSO. Dates will be announced later in the year. You will be able to sign up for an audition in White Plaza, sometime during the days preceeding auditions. Callbacks (the second round of auditions) will occur after first auditions.

As I'm sure you are wondering, the actual audition will go like this: You walk in, we'll warm your voice up with a few ascending and descending scales and you'll amaze us with pitch-matching and rhythm-mastering skills. Then we will sit back in awe as you sing a solo. That's it. Short and sweet.

As for the solo, this is your time to take command of the stage, so pick a verse or portion of a song that you're comfortable singing, shows off your voice and reflects your style.

That's about it. If you have any further questions, feel free to email Gabby at grbarsh@stanford.edu.
