We would love to have your family join our chorus.

See below for information about how auditions work and a link to sign up.

Who is eligible to audition?

Auditions for new members are open to anyone entering grades 3-8.

About auditions: Our 2024/2025 season has already started but we do take new singers at the end of the semester. Email Wendi Burback at wburback@ccchome.org to schedule an audition.

What happens during the audition?

We ask singers to arrive 5 minutes before the scheduled audition time. A director will call in the singer at the start of the audition. The audition will include:

"My Country 'tis of Thee" (Verse 1) - Music with words is provided. Starting note-G. If you do not know this song, we will find another you do, like "Happy Birthday."
Practice aids for your audition:
- Printed music for “My Country” and Rounds
- Sound file piano/vocal to practice “My Country”
- Sound file of just piano of “My Country”

Exercises to check range
Echoing musical patterns
Round - such as, "Are You Sleeping," to check independent part singing

Singers may choose to have their parent in the room or to have him/her wait in another room. The audition takes about 10 minutes.

How will we learn whether or not our child was accepted?

Your singer will receive a letter notifying them of the results of the audition. Letters for auditions in the spring will come out in the end of June.

What are the fees?

Next season’s fees will be:

New to CCC: $595, includes a one-time formal uniform fee.
Returning Jubilate and Cantare: $555
Sala Voce: $575

How are singers who are accepted assigned to choirs?

Selected singers are placed in choirs based on their audition and experience. New auditions are eligible for Jubilate (entering grades 3-6) and Cantare (entering grades 5-8). Learn more about Our Choirs here.
