- All students begin with a Preliminary One audition. Those scoring highest will advance to Preliminary Two auditions in December. Those scoring highest after Preliminary Two will advance to the Semifinals
- Each song must not exceed 3 minutes. This may require eliminating repeats. The fact that you do not sing a piece in its entirety will not be held against you in judging
- You will be asked to sing one song in its entirety and a portion of your second. However, please be prepared to sing both songs all the way through, if asked
- Your songs may be in the style
of pop, jazz, country, gospel, musical theater or foreign language songs
- Operettas are not allowed
- When choosing material, please look for songs that are known to “bring down the house” - crowd pleasers, show stoppers, or ballads with strong emotional content that build to a crescendo
- Select songs which are appropriate for your age and vocal ability. Please be sure your lyrics are appropriate for the family audience that will attend the gala performance should you advance to the finals
- Please show your personality and character
- You may sing with a tape, CD or your own accompanist
- Should you be selected as a finalist, the choice of song presented at the Spotlight Awards Concert will be at the sole discretion of the semifinal judges
