Auditions

So you’re thinking about auditioning for the Blues? We’re excited to hear you sing! Hopefully, this page will answer some of your burning questions about the group. If you have any other questions, please email bluespresident@gmail.com. Kelsey is the audition manager this year.

The Audition Process

We work hard to make auditioning as easy and non-threatening as possible. Don’t panic if you mess up! Nobody auditions perfectly.

• We’ll teach you some of our warm-ups and sing them with you.
• Once you’re comfortable with them, we’ll listen to you sing them alone.
• After that, we’ll play some intervals and get a sense for your accuracy.
• Then you get to sing a song of your choice! We just need to hear a verse and a chorus, and any song is fine.

We’ll let you know about callbacks within a few days. It’s important to remember that we look at fit with the group, not just absolute ability, when we’re making our decision. If you have auditioned for multiple groups and get multiple callbacks, be aware that you can only take one. Of course, if we’ve called you back, we hope you choose to go to the Blues callback. For this reason, we try to call back only people that we think have a good chance of making it into the group.
