AUDITIONS

Auditions for 2008-2009 Season to be Held April 12 & 13 and April 26 & 27

Princeton Girlchoir choristers are selected through individual auditions and interviews. All girls, regardless of race or religion, who are entering grades 3-12 are eligible, invited, and encouraged to audition.

Auditions for the 2008-2009 season will be held at Princeton Day School on April 12 and 13, and April 26 and 27. (Directions can be found at www.pds.org, click on Admissions and then Directions.) Please contact the Girlchoir office at 609-688-1888 to schedule an audition date. Scheduling of appointments will begin on February 20th.

Auditions for each choir last approximately 10 minutes. Girls should come prepared to sing a designated solo (see FAQ). The directors will talk with each applicant, and will check for voice quality, range, and the ability to sing in tune. Sight-singing and the ability to sing in harmony will also be evaluated in the older applicants.

It is recommended that you contact the office early in order to ensure an appointment time and that you review the additional information in this section listed under Audition Details, Frequently Asked Questions, and Helpful Hints. These pages are intended to help both parents and auditioning students feel comfortable and confident with the audition process. In addition, please feel free to call the office with any questions or concerns.

There is a $15 audition fee, which may be paid in cash or by check made payable to the Princeton Girlchoir. An optional letter of recommendation from a music teacher may be emailed to the office at auditions@princetongirlchoir.org, or mailed to Princeton Girlchoir, P.O. Box 145, Princeton, NJ 08542, Attn: Auditions.

We look forward to meeting you!
