I want to join the 2020-2021 Choir - What Now?!

Please ensure that you have registered for Chorus I for the 2019-2020 school year.  Ensemble placements will be announced following auditions.

What Ensembles Will Be Available in the 2020-2021 School Year?

Our ensemble offerings cannot be confirmed until the 2020-2021 class schedule has been set by the Pace High School Administration. However, we are seeking to maintain our current offerings consisting of an unauditioned treble choir, unauditioned tenor-bass choir, auditioned treble choir, and auditioned mixed choir.

Auditions

Auditions details for the 2020-2021 school have not yet been announced.

Previous Audition Requirements

Auditions are not necessary unless you seek to be placed in an auditioned ensemble.  Students who are interested in joining the Pace High School Choral program should enroll in Chorus 1.

The audition process for the 2020-2021 school year may be adjusted.

Our audition process in the past has given students the opportunity to exhibit proficiency in three categories:

1) Musicianship
  • Supplemental study materials have been provided here on our website. 
​
​2) Sight-Reading​
  • Students may be asked to read a FVA All-State Level 2 Sight-Reading Example.
    • Exercise 2
    • 20 seconds to study
    • Can be 3/4 or 4/4
    • Do is always going to be F
      • Therefore, A = Mi and C = Sol, etc
    • It will move by step AND may skip/jump using notes from the arpeggio.
      • Most any jumps involving Do, Mi, Sol, and ‘Do are fair game so establish those pitches firmly in your study time.
    • The exercise may have whole, half, quarter notes, dotted quarter to eighth notes, and quarter note rests.
  • Examples and practice tracks are available here on our website.

3) Vocal Quality
  • Vocal quality audition materials have not been announced yet.​
    • ​In the past, this has been an excerpt from a folk song that would be appropriate for FVA solo & ensemble.
  • Check out our music preparation tips here!​

Don’t worry about the outcome.
​focus on using this opportunity to share your musicianship and expertise.
 
This audition process is a valuable tool in assessing which Pace High School Choir ensemble will best meet the needs of your choral, vocal, personal, and musical development.
