We will be holding live and video recorded auditions this year on the first two days of school (August 29 and 30).  You can audition in person in Dr. Evans' office (FAC 215) or you may submit a video audition.  For the audition, you will simply sing live (or record yourself on your phone) an acappella selection - an art song, a folk song, a hymn, or something that shows your voice - or send a link to a website like YouTube, etc. that features an existing recording of your singing - a musical, solo recital, anything that you've done recently - and then text it to Dr. Evans at (435) 881-2721 or email it to cory.evans@usu.edu.  We will review all submitted auditions and make choir assignments based on the audition results and which ensemble your voice will best fit into, then we will post them on the board outside of Dr. Evans' office on Tuesday night of classes and email the result list to those who have auditioned.  Choirs will begin on Wednesday, Aug. 31.  You will be responsible for registering for your assigned choir at that time.  If you need to register for a choir ensemble before auditions (to get the proper amount of credits, etc.) then register for MUSC 4600 (University Chorale).  Your audition will determine if you remain in that ensemble or if you need to register for a different ensemble.  We look forward to hearing your audition submission!  Audition info will be posted outside of my office (FAC 215) the week before school begins.

 

It will be a fun semester with lots of opportunities to do some unique and rewarding projects.  I look forward to working with you!
