AUDITONS
DATES
& VENUE
JUNIOR
CHORUS
auditions will be held on
Friday 10th, July 2009 (7:30pm until
10:00 latest).
BY INVITATION for members of
the 2009 Wizard of Oz Chorus only. (See
Applications below).
Junior
Chorus audition will consist of learning a simple
dance routine on the night and we will be
singing a song from the Wizard of Oz - so you
should all know it).
Song sheets will be available if you can't remember the words, just be prepared
for
music
and
movement.
We will audition all the Chorus all together as a group rather than individually.
As explained in the Newsletter, we
will only be having ONE
chorus this year. The final
size has yet to be decided
but it will be less than
the 30 we had last
year and it may be the case that some of you are unsuccssful in your audition.
Please don't be too disappointed and try again next year if the auditions return
to
an open invitation format.
Results of Auditions will not
be given on the night. You will be contacted
shortly after Auditions if you are
successful or not for a Chorus position. Please
ensure we have your latest contact details.
PRINCIPALS
auditions will be held on Monday
20th and Friday 24th July 2009 (7:30pm
until 10:00).
OPEN AUDITIONS for anyone interested
in a principal or minor part.
No
age limits, but realistically, Principal parts
are more suitable for adults or senior teens
as they will involve learning lines, solo
performances and maybe solo singing. Minor
parts may suit some younger teens.
More
details on Characters can be found in the Character listings below.
We will audition Principals individually but may option to try some pairings
on
the night.
Also, you may be asked to read for a part other than that you are auditioning
for. This won't necessarilly be an indication that you are unsuccessful in your
primary choice, it's just to allow the Director to assess other posibilities.
As some roles will require singing (possibly solo) so be prepared to audition
your
voice on the night.
If you have a favourite piece please bring a CD backing which we will play for
you. If you aren't bothered, we will have a suitable song (and lyrics) for you
to try. You can always elect to sing a cappella. (without backing). You decide
on the night.
Results of Auditions will not
be given on the night. You will be contacted
shortly after Auditions if you are
successful or not for a part. Please ensure
you give us your contact details - preferably
when
you apply - or on the night.
VENUE for
all auditions: Maldon Town Hall, Market
