We welcome all middle and high school musicians (Church of Jesus Christ Members & friends)! Auditions aren't necessarily to cut members, but more of a tool for us to determine what level we will be performing at as a group!
To start, download the PDF file cooresponding to your selected instrument and read thoroughly. It contains all of the necessary rubrics and guidelines to ensure you create the perfect audition.
Record yourself playing a short hymn from the hymn book and the recommended scales for your instrument. Don't worry, these could all be in separate takes as well. Try to be as expressive, emotional, and dynamic as possible. Play from the heart
Submit your audition videos via the Google Drive Auditions folder or email. We will be checking frequently, as the adjudication process is long, so the sooner you submit the better. Reach out if you have any questions about the process!
The audition deadline for our 2025-2026 performance season is August 18th! All submissions before this date will be evaluated, and any after will be ignored (aside from special circumstances). This is to ensure that everyone has a fair chance, and so we can start rehearsals as soon as possible.
As of July 29, 2025, our first rehearsal will be held on August 25, 2025. We plan to rehearse every Sunday from 5-7 PM at the Cedar Mill Stake Center (Time and Location subject to change). Rehearsals will be mostly youth-led, with an adult director guiding the program. We are here to develop ourselves and each other to maximize and effectiveness and perform at the highest level.
We plan on having several performances throughout the season, ranging from invitationals, firesides, showcases, and other events. Most notable this year will be our Christmas showcase, where we perform a selection of pieces to honor Christ's birth and invite the Spirit.
Please reach us at jakebob639@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
While we aim to perform at the highest level, all are welcome. That being said, depending on the number of auditions for your chosen instrument, we may have to be more selective. Please don't let this discourage you from auditioning, just try your best and let the Lord do the rest.
Any phone camera and microphone is fine. As far as apparell, don't wear distracting clothes in the audition and there won't be a problem. For rehearsals, we will dress nice casual (think jeans/polo). We will be in the stake center so show reverence.
Yes, just know that you will only be selected for 1 instrument officially. If we need reinforcement in other sections for certain pieces and you are proficient in another instrument, our director may ask you to play that one. Being dynamic is a very impressive and beneficial trait for our group
