melodix auditions
Melodix is an audition-only mixed ensemble of 12-20 singers that is open to all members of McMillan Choir. Melodix will meet on Thursdays and Fridays during 5th period and will perform at all McMillan Choir concerts, Solo Festival (November), the WHS Tempo Show (April), Pep Rallies, and at other performance opportunities throughout the year. Melodix sings primarily pop music, with the exception of the piece they perform for Solo Festival. If chosen for the ensemble, Melodix members will be required to attend all rehearsals and performances and pay $25 for their Melodix t-shirt and any other supplies that will be used throughout the year. This will not need to be paid until after the student makes the ensemble.
Auditions will take place in the Choir room after school on Tuesday, August 23rd and Wednesday, August 24th until 5:00 pm. Students will sign up for a 5-minute audition time between 3:45 and 5:00 pm (students will stay in the Choir room while they wait to audition). Each student should prepare about a minute of a song of any genre that shows off their voice. This could include pop, country, musical theatre, etc. You will need to find a karaoke track on YouTube to sing along to, and will need to email the link to Ms. Jackson ([email protected]) or have it pulled up on your phone. The auditions will take place inside Ms. Jackson’s office, and she is the only one who will be present watching you audition. During auditions, I am looking for memorized, prepared, and expressive performances. Students auditioning to be in Melodix MUST attend rehearsals consistently, work diligently during rehearsals, and be a leaders in our Choir family both in and out of the classroom. Students who were in Melodix last year will need to re-audition, and are not guaranteed a spot in the group.
If you would like to audition for Melodix, please fill out the attached form and return it to Ms. Jackson before or at your audition. Results will be posted on Friday, August 26th at 3:45 pm on Google Classroom and on our Choir Instagram.
