About the event
In order to audition, you'll need to prepare a song. You will need to pick a song that fits with this seasons theme "Elemental". This means that your song will need to include in the title words like "Fire", "Burn", "Flame", "Embers", "Water", "River", "Air", "Wind", "Earth" for example. Songs in any style or genre would work. (Remember that our concerts are intended to be family-friendly, so we won't include songs that include swearing, and also we wouldn't include songs that have lyrics or sentiments that don't fit our Inclusion Policy).
Your performance at the auditions will need to be "concert-ready" - it should not be a "work in progress". Songs should be performed from memory, and we're looking at the whole performance, including body language, facial expressions etc, not just the singing. You'll receive applause at the end of your audition - please respond to this as you would…
