2013 Audition Results

Apologies for the delay in posting the results.

Hard copies of the following information will be posted, as planned, on the main downstairs bulletin board and the Studio B080 door.

Some excellent singers were not chosen. This is more a reflection on the needs of the Ensemble than on any one individual's skill and artistry.

Thank you to everyone who auditioned!

And... mega kudos to the Audition Committee for the 7 hours you gave to the audition process—thank you for the exceptional care you gave to weighing the contributions of the candidates!

This year's Committee:

Andrea, Monique, Claire, Taylor, Nick, Matt, Danielle and Sarah—thank you!

Review of Round One, Monday: 5pm to 8:30pm

• Audition committee members independently compiled a personal draft list of singers for inclusion in the singer pool.

Review of Round Two, Monday: 9pm

• Draft lists were compared and singers common to all lists were entered into the singer pool.
• Preference was given to: candidates committed to two full semesters of weekly participation; candidates who possess stronger reading skills.
• Discussion and revisions to the singer pool were made based on further input from the Director.

Review of Round Three: Midnight

• Consensus.

Round Four: Tuesday

• Final revisions.
