Junior and Senior Company choirs are designed for advanced singers with vocal performance experience and class is 75 min long. Auditions are required for all companies. Directors may assign students a company based on skill level, not age. Students will perform at live concerts, participate in a music video each semester and record in the recording studio multiple times throughout the year. Students must commit to attend class the entire semester & come prepared to class each week with music learned.

Audition Information for our 2024-25 Season
Submit auditions using this google form: https://forms.gle/zB2Dh2rrfKFBhyUA9. You can submit videos directly or list a YouTube link to your video(s).
Your audition video needs to include the following:
- Say your first and last name, as well as your age.
- Sing Happy Birthday (to yourself) (See YouTube Video links below for accompaniment). We want students to use their best choir voice with a nice blended tone. We are looking for good vowels, diction, rhythm and performance.
- Sing a 60 second cut of a song that fits your natural range and shows off your vocal strengths. We will be evaluating your tone, technique, ability to stay on pitch & in the correct key, artistry & style, use of good facial expressions, and overall performance. Please use a track, do not sing acapella.
TIPS: YouTube has some great karaoke tracks you can use. See sample auditions on our website. Also, if you play an instrument well enough to accompany yourself, we would love to see that in your audition. We often refer to these audition videos throughout the year, so do your very best!

Our partnership with The Pledge Jar:
We are excited to announce our partnership with The Pledge Jar, a non-profit organization. The goal of The Pledge Jar is to bridge the gap between people and businesses in our community. This organization provides a means for kids to participate in extracurricular activities, fills empty spots in classes around our community, and allows families to meet and bond with each other over their common love—our kids! They understand the far reaching benefit of getting kids involved—higher performance in the classroom, relationships among parents, community support—and we want to do our part to give every child the opportunity to succeed.
With this partnership, we are able to more easily offer scholarships, provide community service and be more involved in uplifting and inspiring those around us. If you are interested in applying for a scholarship for your student, donating to this organization, in general or to specifically sponsor a Vocal Motion Student, please visit their website:
