ACADEMY JUNIORS

Academy Juniors auditions are held in fall to determine that year's Academy Juniors and are open to all students in grades 6-8. Students who make the group will also be enrolled in chorus for that school year. If your student signed up for another elective but would like to audition, we can change his or her elective choice to chorus, should he or she make the group. The audition process will have three components: solo, range testing, and part-singing.
