The audition will consist of 2 components:

1. A pre-recorded video performance of a section from "Swifter by Flame" by Elaine Hagenberg.
   1. Practice and performance tracks are available on the VMEA website at this link: https://www.vmea.com/old-honors-choir
   2. Sheet music can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12WvWzLr3rf5e_xbVxuTFxrBDDy0L4hxg/view?usp=sharing
   3. Students should be visible in the video from at least the waist up and should dress formally, similar to a college audition.
   4. Students will sing along to the "PERFORM-Piano Only" track.
2. A live-recorded sight-reading selection.
   1. The sight-reading will be provided live within the SNAP audition site.
   2. Students have 30 seconds to practice the example.
   3. A starting note will be provided once by the system prior to the recording beginning and should be the only audible item other than the student's voice on the recording.
   4. You must use a computer or tablet to record your sight-reading. The sample will be too small to see if recording from a phone.
   5. Tenor music will be available in Treble 8-clef only.

Both elements must be submitted and the audition fee paid for by 11:59pm on September 25.
