We ask that you prepare a song no longer than 1 minute that best represents your voice. It does not have to be a song from The Little Mermaid. We will not be listening to entire song so be prepared to cut off your audition piece after one minute! Please bring own sheet music and an accompanist will be provided.
Plan on staying for an hour as there will also be a dance audition, so be prepared to dance. Please bring shoes and wear comfortable clothes that you can move in for the dance portion of the audition.
