AUDITIONS
Auditions for the 13.14 school year are complete! Results will be posted after-school on Friday, March 15 and on the choir website: www.oechoirs.org.
Things to keep in mind related to auditions:
As a choir director one of the most difficult days of the year is the day audition results are posted. Many of you will be extremely excited and I share in that excitement. Many of you will also be disappointed and I share in your disappointment. We have worked, based on each on audition, to place each student in the choir that will allow them to be their best.
IT'S CONTEST TIME!
The next two months will begin one of my favorite seasons of the school year as it relates to choir: CONTEST! We participate in two music festivals (contests) sanctioned by the Kansas State High School Activities Association:
OE CHOIR TRIVIA NIGHT!
Auditions for the 13.14 school year are complete! Results will be posted after-school on Friday, March 15 and on the choir website: www.oechoirs.org.
Things to keep in mind related to auditions:
- Over 200 students auditioned for choir--the selection process was very competitive.
- Auditions results are objective and based on a point system (25 points - vocal audition; 10 points sight-singing audition).
- The audition results are final.
- If you did not make the choir you wanted you should be upset. If you aren't you didn't really want it. However, the audition results should never be taken personally.
- Avoid conspiracy theories ("he hates me", "He plays favorites" etc.). There is no conspiracy and if you assume there is one you are unable to learn from the experience.
- If you would like feedback regarding your individual audition results I am happy to discuss them with you after spring break.
