WLA Traveling Choir Auditions 2013-2014

It's that time of year again–audition time! WLA students who have been in WLA choir for one year are eligible to audition for the 2013-2014 Traveling Choir.  TC performs in 1/3 of the 41 WLA association congregations every school year, five major home concerts, and numerous other exciting singing opportunities!  The ideal number I shoot for every school year is 48 (12 in a section).

WLA students who will be in their sophomore, junior, or senior years in the 2013-2014 school year and have been in one year of WLA choir are eligible to audition.  I'm looking for independent singers who can learn their parts on their own, students who work hard, have good grades, and are excellent examples of young Christian men and women.  If you feel you have what it take, please fill out the audition form below and download the audition documents.  All the information you need to know is on those documents.

Sign up for an audition time on the WLA Choir Room door ASAP!  Audition will begin the week of April 22, 2013 and will be done by Friday, May 3, 2013.
