What to expect at your audition
Individual and small group auditions will last 10-15 minutes.
Come prepared to sing a short song (about 20-30 seconds). It can be anything you love to sing, or even just Happy Birthday.
The director will ask you to vocalize (sing short patterns) to hear your voice in high and low ranges.
You may be asked to read music. This is NOT a requirement for placement into the choir, but some basic knowledge is encouraged for those wishing to join Lyric Choir.
Above all, your audition will be a LOW PRESSURE time to get to know you as a singer.

2021-2022 Season
Cary-Apex Youth Choir successfully executed in-person and virtual programming throughout 2020-2021, following CDC guidelines for safety during the coronavirus pandemic. While we hope to return to "normal" as soon as possible, we are prepared to continue offering flexible programming for the 2021-2022 season, so that no matter the situation, our singers receive an excellent education and enrichment in choral arts, including the important emotional benefits of singing and interacting with others.
We will emphasize in-person rehearsals to the fullest extent possible, while maintaining safety precautions as recommended by the CDC and State Health Dept., including masking, sanitizing, distancing, and modified performances.
