Audition Packets and Information for A Rockin' Royal Christmas!

Hello all! We are excited to be kicking off another wonderful season of Children's choir!  This year we have selected the musical "A Rockin' Royal Christmas".  When King Herod sends Sherlock Watson to find out why the kings from the East did not return to him, we discover, along with Sherlock, that Jesus is the "King of kings" and if we believe in Him, we answer to a higher calling than to any king on earth.

PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS INFORMATION...I know there is a TON of it, but it REALLY helps us when everyone knows what is going on and shows up to the audition PREPARED!

If you are interested in auditioning for a speaking part and/or solo for our upcoming Christmas Musical, please find us in the church lobby on Sunday morning to sign up for a time. We will also have the sign up sheet available at our KICK OFF PIZZA PARTY on Sunday, September 9.

When you sign up for an audition you will receive an Audition Packet. If you did not get one or have not signed up, you can print a copy here. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO READ ALL OF THE INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THE PACKET. It is also very important to make sure that you are able to commit to all of the scheduled rehearsal times listed in the packet. You can also see the rehearsal times on the calendar at the bottom of the blog.

We will post options for the solo auditions at a later time. Everyone will also receive a listening CD (on 9/9) to help them learn the music before the auditions.  UPDATE: Those auditioning for a solo may sing any song of their choice.  Please be prepared with your selection when you come for your audition.
