AUDITIONS
Choral auditions for the 2008-2009 academic year will take place September 2 - 5, 2008. ALL STUDENTS who want to sing at UWM must sign up for a simple, five-minute voice placement hearing. This hearing is designed to let the UWM Choral Faculty meet you, hear your voice, and then place you in the optimal ensemble for your voice!
You can sign up for an audition time on the audition sheets hanging on the Choir Bulletin Board, located in the Music Building, first floor, across from room 159. Pick a time that is convenient for your schedule. The sheets will be available starting August 15.
