Recommended Repertoire
Applicants can audition in one or both categories - Category 1: Classical/Folk/Traditional and Category 2: Musical Theater/Disney/Broadway/Jazz. The repertoire for each category is provided as a general framework for what is expected from each age group. Applicants may perform one or several pieces from this repertoire, or they may choose their own program as long as it fits into the framework we've provided here. We do, however, strongly discourage applicants from selecting songs from rock and pop musicals. Audition and performance pieces must not exceed 5 minutes. Please make sure to let us know which category(s) you're auditioning in when filling out your application form.
