What to Prepare

All auditioners will sing the selected song below.

We'll provide sheet music, a demo track, and an accompaniment track.

Best Friends

With Voices

This is the recording of the section of "Best Friends" that has the voices included. Practice with this first to learn how the voice and accompaniment go together! (follow the sheet music)

(

Accompaniment

This is the accompaniment for the audition. It is the track we will play for you to sing with during your audition . Practice using this once you learn the words from the sheet music and the recording above.

Sheet Music

This is the sheet music for "Best Friends" for your audition. Please print it and bring a copy to refer to at the audition. We much prefer memorized auditions, but children can hold the paper if they feel that they need to. You do not need to read sheet music or memorize the lyrics—but if you can, even better! Auditioners may also be asked to read from the script.
